Magic Fig: Vinyl LP

Label: Silver Current Records
Release Date: 17th May

This is very us, a bit of that exotica pop, some proggy psych jams, proper guitar solos, swirling space keys, Canterbury scene whimsy and a bit of AOR pillowy haze. Hope Magic Fig are proud of this debut cos it SLAPS.

Bursting forth in a bouquet of dreamlike hooks, choral vocals and Moog pitch-bends, Magic Fig’s debut proves that the technicolor heart of San Francisco’s psychedelic lineage is still beating and as vivid as ever. Featuring alumni from the Bay Area’s best and brightest pop, psychedelic and garage bands (The Umbrellas, Whitney’s Playland, Almond Joy and Healing Potpourri among them) Magic Fig’s debut is full of sonic fireworks, top-shelf musicianship, hooks abound and a distinctive melding of prog rock and pop joy reminiscent of the 60s/70s Canterbury greats. Produced by Joel Robinow of Once and Future Band.


For fans of Os Mutantes, Stereolab, Dungen and Kevin Ayers’ Soft Machine.
