About
Milagres, an American indie rock band from Brooklyn, NY, delivered a stripped-down but powerful performance at a recent Tiny Desk concert. With a unique blend of instruments including a toy piano, autoharp, melodica, and glockenspiel, the band showcased their selective minimalism and attention to detail.
The band, originally founded in 2006 under a different name and lineup, has gone through various changes before settling on the name Milagres. They independently released their album "Seven Summits" in 2008 before signing with Kill Rock Stars in 2011 and releasing their national debut, "Glowing Mouth." Their follow-up album, "Violent Light," was released in 2014, followed by "ZIGGURAT" in 2018 as a duo.
Among the highlights of the Tiny Desk concert was the performance of "Halfway," a favorite song from their 2011 album, showcasing the band's ability to create big sounds from small elements. Despite their minimal setup, Milagres captivated the audience with their intricate musical arrangements and thoughtful lyrics.
The band's journey through various albums and tours reflects their dedication to their craft and evolution as artists. Their sound, reminiscent of the attention to detail seen in the likes of Phil Spector, sets them apart in the indie rock scene.
