Warning:
I just wrote a chronicle in my mother tongue,
French, saying I made a great discovery and loved at first sight an indie pop
rock NYC band: Milagres.
This short chronicle had to be written in
English too. Not sure it's great, not sure it's perfect. It will be a bit
different from the French one, but still quite positive. That being said, let's
start;
Sometimes miracles do not happen.
I do listen to endless lists of new songs, “Soundclouds”,
digital compilations and so called novelties. Dull days sometimes pass
without a ray of light getting through the grey clouds that darken our days
from September to April...
But sometimes I find a golden nugget among the
mud. Sometimes an emerald shines among cheap stones and ... that kind of
miracle always happens to me in the end! The mad gold digger suddenly forgets mosquitoes,
pain and fever and joy is like a huge wave, overwhelming him and the
surrounding buzzing jungle. The sun shines in its full glory, piercing dark
skies with an invisible strength.
Here I was yesterday, jumping for joy, eyes lit
with a crazy glow ... and here were Milagres' tunes in my sieve. I listened 6
or 7 times to their song "Jeweled Case". This made my day brighter.
Go, my friends, go down, get their music and
discover yourself the nuggets coming from this fresh and superb bonanza.
Dig the earth, this is worth it.
A bright and smart indie pop rock band from NYC,
and their name just means "miracles" in Portuguese.
Sometimes miracles happen.
