another rough trade exclusive. magic magic are a 5 piece band with two drummers that hail from boston massachusetts and are still too young to have a legal drink in their home state. this is their debut album. led by singer / songwriter / guitarist / keyboardist and all round genius, john francis murphy, the band also comprises the mercurial talents of brendan hughes on guitar, dimitri miro swan on bass, and the infamous dylan gough and mike hlady (the doctor) playing the twin drum kit. this is a sweeping epic of beautifully crafted and intricately arranged pop music. big, bold and beautiful it sounds as though it was recorded in technicolour widescreen panavision. featuring exquisite melodies and beautifully arranged harmonies that brian wilson would kill for and underpinned by the fervent manic dual attack of two drummers in perfect offbeat sync. a band totally unafraid to assimilate different styles and managing to make it sound sublime and effortless. they have been likened to the bastard child of arcade fire, the flaming lips and radiohead.
