Not Only Viagra


"I found a band from Princeton that's gonna make it big."
"Are they as good as Vampire Weekend?"
"No. Even better."

That's is how I heard out about Miracles of Modern Science, or MoMS as M and I call them. Already garnering a good amount of attention, MoMS is not just another crappy Ivy League band. First of all, they wear space suits on stage (a gimmick that I hope they would entirely drop in the near future). Second, the only standard instrument in their arrangement is a drum set. The others include a mandolin, violin, cello and a standup bass. I don't think I can really describe what it sounds like. You'll just have to listen to understand the fresh ingenuity of their material.

Here's a recording of their performance:

Who would've thought anything good could come out of Jersey?
