Four Bands About To Break It Big

Ready for the four hippest bands this fall? Instant cred, go!

The Band: Miracles of Modern Science
The Single: MR2

Miracles of Modern Science (or M.O.M.S) might look on first appearance like just another space-rock bluegrass band. But actually, they play really fucking catchy pop songs that call to mind vintage Andrew Bird or Final Fantasy.

The Band: Women
The Single: Black Rice

Women have been mentioned on Pitchfork and the big blogs, but still haven’t hit the way they will in a few months. Jagjaguwar just picked these dudes up, so expect a publicity blitz very soon.

The Band: Guatemala City
The Single: Kim Chee Soup

Guatemala City just dropped Yolanda, and if you call yourself someone into creative electronic music, this is for you.

The Band: The Craters
The Single: Samba Party

The Craters just put out their first proper album, Kissing/ Samba Party, and will tour the Northeast in November. Think Animal Collective 2.0..

Now you and your girlfriend have something new to talk about. Phew!
