Formed in 2012, Miracle Strip are a duo comprising of brothers Fergus Christie Jack (vocals, synths, lyrics) – formerly of meteoric noise-pop trio Dirty Summer – and Malcolm Bruce Jack (guitars, synths, programming).
They hail from rural Fife, where they still write and rehearse, and are based in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Miracle Strip believe that lo-fi needn't mean low ambition. They aspire to the wry lyricism of the Magnetic Fields and Jens Lekman, the pulsing arpeggiators and fuzzy electronica of Hot Chip and The Radio Dept, and the gleaming playfulness of The Associates and glossiest Orange Juice. They stand for returning a spirit of adventure, mischief and meaning to pop music. So far as budget permits.
Their debut album 'Magic Milk', will be released on cassette and download on May 25, 2015, with a limited pre-release in select independent shops for Record Store Day on April 18.
