- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Mystic duo Magic Wands return with the Magic, Love and Dreams EP recorded
with John Hill (Santogold, Lykke Li, Nas) to be released through Bright
Antenna (US, Japan) and Young and Lost Club (UK).
Recorded in John HillÆs New York Studio û and using the same drum machine as
PrinceÆs Purple Rain û Magic, Love and Dreams is cosmic pop of the highest
order.
Both Teenage Love and Kiss Me Dead feature walls of white noise guitars,
whilst the track Starships (a song inspired by the Phoenix lights) kisses the
sky with ether rag soaked abandonment. Black Magic has been given the full
John Hill treatment and sounds super nova big.
Magic Wands have spent the last 6 months touring relentlessly, and writing
and recording the tracks that will make up their debut album. TheyÆve been on
a monster East-West Coast US tour with Black Kids and the Virgins as well as
returning to the UK to support CSS on their October dates.
In anticipation of the EP release through Bright Antenna, the band tour with
The Kills and The Horrors in the US through April and May.
Magic Wands formed in 2007. While living in Nashville, Chris found a song on
Myspace that he listened to repeatedly, day and night. Soon he discovered it
was a song by Dexy, called Teenage Love. During the course of the summer 2007
Chris and Dexy started talking on the phone until dawn, writing songs for
each other and mailing gifts such as toy lions, old records, handwritten
poems and one glowing heart lamp. Though 2000 miles apart, they decided they
were destined to be. Two weeks later Chris was back in L.A. helping Dexy pack
up her old Mercedes Benz for a trip across the country.
Currently, Chris and Dexy arenÆt sure where they would call home, but for the
time being are holed up in Los Angeles recording a new track called Warrior.
The video for Warrior will be available as a free download upon purchasing
the EP on Itunes later this summer.
