If you were lucky enough to catch one of their few CMJ sets, you had the privileged of catching a set of completely new tunes from Brooklyn experimental pop quartet Milagres. With their 2011 sophomore effort Glowing Mouth firmly in the rear view, Milagres are back in a big, big way. “The Letterbomb,” the first single from their forthcoming full length Violent Light, is all expansive, fathomless big rock licks and a decidedly more straightforward delivery than Glowing Mouth‘s subtle creep. Far more synth-oriented, Milagres frontman Kyle Wilson is in rare form on “The Letterbomb” twisting and contorting his vocals for the sake of a heightened state of drama that covers the range of everything/anything between caressing whispers to riotous shouts. “The Letterbomb” crackles with intensity, an impressive feat of dynamic songcraft that manages to find balanced intricacy with its ginormous sound.
Milagres’ third full length record Violent Light is out February 25th on Kill Rock Stars.
