You may have read me rave about Yalie trio Plume Giant. Two males, one female multi-instrumentalists that have captured beautiful harmony vocals. First time I've seen them since they graduated and moved to Brooklyn (which seems like the indie path of least possible resistance for east coast bands). Genuinely nice, this threesome has latched on to a Bon Iver meets Grizzly Bear vibe. Wielding some boho effects (xylophone, triangle, drumpad) in addition to the regular instrumentation of guitars and fiddle top with soaring vocal harmonies, this band is one ear away from stardom, if they want it. Plume Giant even crafted a light sculpture band sign. Let's hope that the ear that can push PG to the next level, passes by the right dive bar on the right night in Brooklyn.
Milagres is another Brooklyn band of hipsters. Tight and technical, Milagres had a Robert Smith (The Cure) type front man. Muscular guitar and bass were at least brothers (if not clones), and excitable drummer made up the quartet. Higher energy and less finesse than PG, Milagres are another good example of Brooklyn's sea of hipster musicians. How bout a battle of the bands reality show highlighting one of the worlds best breeding grounds for new music?
