Barely a month into the New Year and Brooklyn five-piece Milagres have already set the bar for debut albums in 2012. Both intoxicating and lucid in its swooning, panoramic grace, ‘Gone’ and opener ‘Halfway’ take Wild Beasts’ more restrained tales of longing and rid them of public school affectation, whilst ‘Lost In The Dark’ and ‘Moon On The Sea’s Gate’ unearth the band’s real prowess: a brooding aesthetic reminiscent of Department Of Eagles, Black Heart Procession and Wilco’s moodier lullabies. That said, propelling these New Yorkers more than anything are frontman Kyle Wilson’s lyrics; a powerful 11-track open letter to an anonymous other that imbues Glowing Mouth’s glorious noise with tragic meloncholy.
