Magic Wands
Magic Wands – Black Magic [iTunes]
Dang, the weather’s too hot now for anything but instant pop music. Here’s a song that arrived in my inbox last week, and I’ve been loving it.
The Magic Wands are a Nashville-based duo, a guy and a girl called Chris and Dexy. They’ve only been making music for about a year, but already toured to the UK (I didn’t see them). One of their publicity photos was taken at the Rollright Stones, which is just up the road from me in northern Oxfordshire.
There’s some low-level buzz out there about these guys, whose music reminds me a little of post-punk bands like Delta 5. They even played a side stage at Glasto this year, and apparently an album is in the works. Their first single Teenage Love is kinda cool too.
