Upcoming Events: “Mouthfeel” reviews: “…delivering 11 tight, exciting new songs without a dud in the midst, the band never forgets what it means to kick the hell back into a melody.” “…Magnapop’s long-forgotten lesson — one in abundance on the band’s new disc, “Mouthfeel” — is that being “edgy” sometimes is just a matter of playing it cool.” “It’s strange to suggest that more than 15 years after the band’s formation it has hit a stride, but the urgent bop, foot-stomping guitar crunch and undeniable melodiousness are pretty insistent in Magnapop’s charms.” “…Catchy as syphilis melodies, jangly guitars that go loud/quiet loud/quiet and a vocalist with a cute voice….If you like the poppier element of Guided by Voices, Imperial Teen or Lush then this is the album for you.” Catchy as syphilis melodies? Hmm… “So authentic is the album’s ’90s sound that it’s as though the band’s home town of Atlanta, Georgia, is still stuck in 1996. If that’s the case, I think I’ll be moving down there as soon as possible.” “…definitely a record to listen to while driving around on a summer day with the windows down.” |
