Magic Trick: “Daylight Moon”.
August 14, 2011, 0 comments
The fine folks over at San Francisco’s Empty Cellar Records recently sent over the forthcoming LP by Magic Trick, which is a solo project by Tim Cohen of the mighty psych-pop supergroup The Fresh & Onlys (who, as previously reported, really entertained us in Barcelona this past May). The Glad Birth of Love is a superb record, being a proper full-length despite featuring merely four tracks, with below posted Daylight Moon being by far the shortest, its rather expansive length of seven and a half minutes notwithstanding. All other songs easily exceed the ten minute mark while still remaining surprisingly tight compositions. Wide-spreading arrangements somewhere between free folk and outright psychedelia, the record is yet another proof of Cohen’s immeasurable knack for writing ravishingly sun-embracing, decades-spanning and distinctly Californian pop masterpieces.
The Glad Birth of Love will be released August 23 and is up for pre-order here.
