MAGIC KIDS - MEMPHIS (LP)

Magic Kids Memphis on Vinyl LP

With Memphis, their debut LP, Magic Kids have crafted a record that lives up to the Memphis tradition of individualistic, joyful music-making. They create swelling and heartfelt baroque pop gems. Magic Kids share with last century's masters of pop music, Brian Wilson, Van Dyke Parks, Jeff Lynne, the ability to take a tiny and simple song, a moment of wide-eyed sincerity, and translate it into something that is bursting with life.

The album calls on the sounds of a diverse orchestra of local musicians and friends playing oboes, strings, horns, 808s and synths. The songs are unapologetically joyful, unrestrained in their celebration, and fearless in their expression. However the sound of the album is defiantly contemporary. Recorded at Doug Easley's studio by Shane Stonebeck (Vampire Weekend, Sleigh Bells), Memphis packs a seriously powerful sonic punch.
