Magic Wands on BIGSTEREO

Magic Wands

27 September 2008 :: posted by Travis :: add to favs

I kinda wasn’t into Magic Wands til I heard their “Teenage Love” — actually, I was really into Magic Wands on a visual level but wasn’t so much into “Black Magic.” “Teenage Love” brought the visual and audio together into one of those perfect music aha moments that I felt the need to share and experience the song with everybody I know — and you. I wish my journey with Magic Wands began with “Teenage Love”:

Magic Wands kinda reminds me of those bread and butter 90’s bands that I grew up on like Belly and EARLY Beck. Kinda.

“Black Magic” kinda makes me cringe. I really love the first 30 seconds and then it looses me. Not my fav but worth noting:

Magic Wands is on tour with the Black Kids and CSS (not at the same time) — so yeah, they’re hyped.
