Magic Kids “Superball” bounces back to Vancouver en route to Memphis
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Magic Kids are serious about the craft and composition of rock music.
“Superball” off of their debut record Memphis out on August 24th via True Panther, demonstrates this incredibly.
Using the tools they sharpened in their old D.I.Y. bands, The Barbaras and Girls of the Gravitron, Magic Kids set out to do something classic: take the simple and skeletal structures of rock and garage songs and build them into pop epics. The horns, strings and synths are not trim or embellishments but crucial components of their unique compositions. You may have heard an early demo of this song on the 7″ split with the Smith Westerns but the above is the version that defines it. We hope you find it as immediate and enthralling as we do.
Magic Kids, who breezed through the country earlier this summer as special guests of Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, return to Vancouver’s Media Club on September 8th with their neighbor and friend, Bosco Delrey.
Memphis isn’t about mourning an era of music that is gone, rather, adding another chapter to the story and Bosco is a perfect companion for this mission.
MEMPHIS EVERYWHERE!
