Description
The Magic Gang made a stellar return with the joyous ‘Think’, which added some fleetfooted Northern Soul grooves to their melodic take on modern indie. It immediately made an impact at Radio 1 as it premiered as Annie Mac’ s Hottest Record in the World, while Jack Saunders subsequently named it as Tune of the Week. Further radio play also came from Matt Wilkinson at Beats 1 and John Kennedy at Radio X.The Magic Gang now build on that flying momentum with the news that their buoyant new album ‘Death Of The Party’ will be released on May 15th. It follows their selftitled first album, which was hailed as one of the best debuts of 2018 as the band earned award nominations from NME and Q.‘Death Of The Party’ was recorded in Atlanta with the Grammywinning producer Ben H. Allen Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley, whose work in alternative and pop matches for band’ s own blend of genres.The quartet approached the album with two objectives in mind. They aimed to broaden the scope of their harmonyrich, melodically focused pop. And inspired by Lou Reed, Alex Turner and especially Jonathan Richman they wanted to take a more observational lyrical approach.
