New Magic. The - Bird's Eye View (2024)

The debut album from this band from Norway.

The band is a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, upright bass, guitars, mandolin, ocarina, piano, organ, synths, saxophones and vocals.

This album has been released on LP and as a Bandcamp album. 

This album has been released on the same record label who now release all the Munch albums. Munch is a psych and electronica band who has been around for over forty years. I may review their albums in some years time.

The New Magic's music is a mix of electronica, psych, prog and jazz. Maybe the "art-rock" label should be dusted off and put on their music. It is indeed art, this music.

The sound is light and so is the music. There is even some arty pop music here. There is also some hints of folk rock here.

The music is lush and light. This forty-five minutes long album is based on good melodies and some good vocals. The electronica elements is always present but it still feels pretty organic.

The quality is good throughout and this band is another band well worth checking out if Norwegian progressive rock is something you collect, as I do, or even like.

Check out this album.
