New York was wearing on Kyle Wilson, lead singer & songwriter for the
Brooklyn-based quintet Milagres. So he took off, away from the city and his
band and his issues... all the way to the coldest, most remote part of
British
Columbia where he could get some space and breathe. As so often happens in
life, he got a little more space than he bargained for during a rock
climbing
trip he fell and ended up spending months bedridden with a
back injury. Before
he left New York, Wilson had thought he might
leave the band behind entirely.
But during the long days of his
recovery he found himself writing songs again,
and he realized he
wanted to go back. Upon his return to NYC, Wilson drafted
Fraser
McCulloch (bass, backing vocals, keys) into his new vision of Milagres,
sharing with him the arrangements that he dreamt of while recovering
from his
injury. These demos were then refined with the addition of Eric Schwortz
(guitar, backing vocals, percussion), Chris Brazee (piano/keys) and Steven
Leventhal (drums, percussion), evolving into what would become the new
group's
first LP, Glowing Mouth. The musical scope of the album is
big and due to the
piano-based melodies and soaring falsettos, early
press has compared the band
to artists as diverse as Grizzly Bear and Prince, demonstrating the wide
breadth of Milagres material. The first single, ''Glowing Mouth'', is a
slow-burner made for dancing close on a hot summer night, whereas ''Here To
Stay'' has a keyboard hook that won't let you sleep. Kyle Wilson has a
knack
for writing dreamy story songs that also pack a punch in both chorus and
melody. Songs like ''Gentle Beast'' and ''Gone'' suck you in and then haunt
you for days afterwards. Glowing Mouth is an album that stays with you.
