Miracles of Modern Science began life in 2004 as a sea-shanty-spouting string band at Princeton University, formed by orchestra drop-outs and jazz band rejects. In 2005, they found a drummer and plugged their miniature orchestra into amps. From then on, their ecstatic live shows, complete with permanently sweat-soaked dime store space suits, ignited hip-shaking parties to instruments grandma might have waltzed to. The band pieced together their debut EP in dorm rooms and basements over the course of 2008. Its combination of post-rock explosions, anthemic pop vocals, and antique textures makes for a sound lost in time – this is how a Civil War string band might have imagined the music of the far-distant 1980s, or how Devo might have entertained at a Lincoln Benefit.

The EP, released as a free download, has garnered praise all over the blogosphere. The now Brooklyn-based Miracles of Modern Science are having an exciting year: after packing their 2008 CMJ showcase at Brooklyn’s Glasslands Gallery (a “must see” performance, according to Jocelyn Miller of Brooklyn Based.net), hey earned spots on bills with Dan Deacon, Gang Gang Dance, Ponytail, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Micachu, and The Homosexuals. In April they kicked off Rooftop Films's 2009 summer series, a film and music series featuring “NY’s best and brightest musical acts." In May 2009, they were chosen as Artists of the Month by The Deli Magazine, and as the monthly Featured Artist at Jezebelmusic.com.

Brooklyn's favorite orchestral space-pop band has something NEW for you Miracles of Modern Science have been hard at work this summer on their new single, "Bossa Supernova" – an exhilarating combination of classical instrumentation, post-rock explosions, and expertly crafted pop hooks.
