Last week, the New Jersey band Miracles Of Modern Science launched 100 comments-section puns when they covered "You Give Love A Bad Name" the way Justin Vernon would and called the result Bon Joviver . And expertly executed though that joke may be, it's also worth noting that the band is perfectly good at crafting its own densely orchestrated, occasionally vaguely funky indie prettiness. Below, download their big, ambitious, generally impressive song "Friend Of The Animals." Read More...
O grupo americano indie Miracles of Modern Science lançou um clipe para a música Eating Me Alive , single do primeiro álbum da banda, Dog Year . No clipe, a banda recria, à sua maneira, uma cena do filme Batman: The Dark Knight, onde o herói protagonista amarra os pés dois membros da SWAT e os ergue para que eles não atirem em nenhum inocente. No vídeo, uma mulher amarra os membros da banda com luzes de natal para obter o mesmo resultado. ( via )
Remember that scene in The Dark Knight where Batman ties all the SWAT officers' feet together to trip them up and prevent them from shooting any hostages ? Brooklyn-by-way-of-New-Jersey indie rock outfit Miracles of Modern Science has recreated that very scene in the music video for "Eating Me Alive". (It's also their first official video ever.) In the clip, the band plays a rousing version of the song while a mischievous female ties Christmas lights all over their bodies. Once the song ends, all it takes is one quick tug and the band crumble like [...]
Brooklyn's guitar-less rock band Miracles of Modern Science released their debut LP Dog Year towards the end of last year and played a sold out record release show for it at Pianos in December . You can stream and purchase the album (name your price) at bandcamp . Miracles of Modern Science have another NYC show coming up which will take place at Mercury Lounge on February 3 with Quintus , Ambassadors , and The Break Mission . Tickets [...]
Just kidding. It's actually Miracles of Modern Scienc e pretending to be Bon Iver covering Bon Jovi in a musical experiment they've dubbed Bon Joviver. I guess this is really only something that would interest people who unironically enjoy A) Bon Iver and B) Bon Jovi. Basically, it's straight hipster porn. [via PCB ]
O Miracles of Modern Science pode até ter fracassado na missão de nos impressionar com seu álbum de estreia, mas foi obteve perfeito sucesso ao responder uma pergunta que nem sabíamos que possuíamos, mas que agora, parece mais clara do que nunca: o que aconteceria se juntássemos Bon Iver e Bon Jovi em uma só música? Para descobrir sigam-me os bons assistam ao vídeo gravado pelo grupo folk, que transformou o clássico de Jon Bon Jovi , You Give Love A Bad Name , em uma faixa [...]
Indie rock band, Miracles of Modern Science , have given the internet world a fun little treat with their new mini-project, Bon Joviver. They have taken the musical stylings of Bon Iver and combined them with the classic 802s pop tune, "You Give Love a Bad Name", written by, of course, Bon Jovi. Thus, giving us the name, Bon Joviver. Short and silly, but very entertaining. I'm pretty surprised that Jimmy Fallon hadn't already come up with this.

Miracles of Modern Science's Dog Year has totally hit the spot this wintry period.

Miracles of Modern Science (@wearemoms), the "orchestral space pop" quintet from Brooklyn, are starting to make some real noise with the release of their debut full-length album Dog Year . I can count myself among the lucky number of people who are familiar with the band's previously released EP, and I'm happy to report that Dog Year successfully delivers on the amazing potential that their earlier effort displayed. MOMS (how cool of an abbreviation is that?) are not your average indie lineup. There are plenty of strings, [...]

Here's some more bloody Christmas music, this time courtesy of Miracles of Modern Science. It's their version of O Holy Night and you can have a listen to it below.
Excitable Princetonians Miracles of Modern Science (whose debut album Dog Year we just recommended) seem like the kind of band who don't need much encouragement to get into the mood for anything. So, with Christmas less than a week away the band have provided their own version of the hymn "O Holy Night." It starts off quite similar to the traditional version before taking a turn into a more MOMS-esque venture. Stream it or download it for free below. Miracles of Modern Science - "O Holy Night"
It's Christmas. You know it, we know it, and the Miracles of Modern Science certainly know it. They're in the festive mood and that's why they're streaming their entire debut album, Dog Year, in all its classical indie glory. Have a listen to it below.
Who'd have thought one of the best indie rock debuts of the season would come from an Ivy League-bred, string-centered quintet? This New York-by-way-of-Princeton five-piece ekes about as much pop sensibility from jazz instrumentation as anyone not named Walter Becker or Donald Fagen. Miracles of Modern Science 's debut full-length, Dog Year , is crafted using only a violin, cello, mandolin, bass, and drums, which they implement in more of a rock and roll style than the baroque stylings of chamber pop. Put to perfect use in "Strangerous", a bombastic love [...]
As a band that's made up of a double bassist, a mandolinist, a violinist, a cellist and a drummer, you might expect Miracles of Modern Science to make music that is more suited to a hoe down than a rock show, but MOMS' music is suitable for any kind of upbeat affair. There's a certain amount of hokiness that comes with this territory, but rather than try to avoid it, MOMS embrace it fully, and in doing so have created an extremely lively and funny album. It is that more orthodox of instruments, the drums, that drives the [...]
