ALBUMS OF THE YEAR #20 - #16 #20 Peaking Lights - 936 - Key Sparrow ( MP3 ) Peaking Lights are a relatively new phenomena in my world; their sound is one characterised by thick, dubby basslines and wrangled psychedelic vibratos. This isn't reggae, but has some of the same appeal, especially when taken with the sunken Warpaint-style vocals which weave throughout '936'. As the band themselves put it on the Domino website, interestingly, "it's not linear, it's a cycle. A bunch of circles rotating at different speeds but still intertwined like [...]
Gospel Music's sound has absolutely nothing to do with gospel music. Black Kids bassist Owen Holmes is the man behind Gospel Music and the band has released a debut LP on Kill Rock Stars, How To Get To Heaven From Jacksonville, FL, with tunes that bring to mind Magnetic Fields and Moldy Peaches. Jaunty acoustic pop twee songs about love, heartbreak and social awkwardness with a bit of a tongue and cheek humor. Gospel Music @ Kill Rock Stars [...]

Milagres has hardly escaped a review without being compared to Grizzly Bear, which is far from the worst thing that could happen to a band.

As a long time fan of the Thermals , I'll always be dedicated to anything that's associated with the band. Luckily for me, and for you as well, Hutch never really writes a bad song. His new solo project, Forbidden Friends just released a the new Totally Low 73 on Kill Rock Stars , and it's been playing on my turntable all night long. It might not have the sharp edge of the Thermals, but you can hear [...]

"Halfway" by Milagres , off their album Glowing Mouth (Kill Rock Stars). I found this video actually while perusing my non-music blog feeds, checking in at Everything Is Terrible (really consider following them). Three things we share in common are liking great bands, loving awesome videos and the never-ending pursuit of finding the worst film of all time.

numbers - "the fuck you garage" (download) This is a song I posted on the original Bomarr Blog back in 2005. I figured I'd revisit it. I saw these guys so many times playing at warehouses in the Bay Area back then. They always put on a good show. Not sure what happened, but they seemed to have disappeared. This record, We're Animals, is excellent. You should check it out. buy

Slim Moon founded the Kill Rock Stars label in 1991 because he wanted to "put out my friends' records because nobody was putting out my friends' records. And to put out spoken-word 7-inch records. It grew from there." The roster expanded into a group of outsiders who perhaps did things a little differently to the majority of alternative bands on the scene at the time. KRS bands were rule breakers, improvisers ... square pegs in the indie guitar-bass-drums round hole. An itch you couldn't scratch. Moon introduced us, most memorably, to riotous art-pop clatterers [...]

Glowing Mouth is the debut album from Milagres, a Brooklyn based project previously self releasing as The Secret Life of Sofia. This ambient indie album includes psychedelic and baroque-pop influence, which have blended pretty well with the ambient-customary reverb soaked synths and vocals. There are some effective baroque-pop moments to be found - the mysterious flutes in title track Glowing Mouth work well and there is a sense of weight added by the military drums and English folk influenced vocal harmonies. The lazy vocal style is somewhat reminiscent of Coldplays' Chris Martin, although Milagres' lead singer Kyle Wilson's [...]

The album, Glowing Mouth , is out sometime Septiembre and if it delivers on this lead cut it will be the jam! Milagres - Glowing Mouth

The hit making city has struck again! Brooklyn churns out more than its share of music, and Milagres is one of those bands that has slowly been on the rise; they're ready to go beyond the city though. They've just signed on with Kill Rock Stars who will be releasing their record, Glowing Mouth , at some point in September. The first single, the album's title track, has this electronic vibe to it, but what really grabs me, and hopefully you as well, [...]
This week's completely legal and free MP3s gave our inbox rosy cheeks and a postcoital glow.
Milagres will release a new album, Glowing Mouth , on September 13 via Kill Rock Stars. Download the first single from the record, also titled "Glowing Mouth." Inspired by a rock climbing trip in British Columbia, the new album was written while lead singer Kyle Wilson recovered from a subsequent back injury. But the injury didn't slow him down, and instead he assembled a new crew of musicians to fill out the band. Wilson stopped by our studio and discussed conquering his fears of rock climbing, and how it inspires his songwriting. [...]

Летней ночью стоит вспомнить о том, что у нас уже есть « Glowing Mouth » - первый сингл с одноимённого альбома группы Milagres, который выйдет этой осенью на Kill Rock Stars . Тёплая волна синтезаторов, фальцет, мелодии, стоящиеся на партиях фортепиано и сравнения с Grizzly Bear и Prince, наглядно показывающую широкий спектр ассоциаций, который порождает эта пластинка.
