Project By
Connected as Evan Younger (580 friends)
Miracles of Modern Science began life in 2004 as a sea-chantey-spouting string band at Princeton University, formed by orchestra dropouts and jazz band rejects. In 2005, they found a drummer and plugged their miniature orchestra into amps.
The band’s blend 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.
This is no string tribute to rock. This is MOMS.
