If you've read my blog previously you've probably realised by now that I'm a big fan of Brighton's The Magic Gang, and have been since I saw them supporting Wolf Alice on tour last year. Before that gig I hadn't even heard of the band, but was completely won over by the impressive roster of songs in their set.
I've already shared my thoughts on Jasmine and these are joined by the excellent She Doesn't See, Feeling Better and All That I Want Is You which all show off the band's knack for penning catchy, feel good songs that tell surprisingly melancholy stories.
However, the stand out track for me is opening song Lady, Please which I've been waiting for the band to release since I heard it live last April and it didn't disappoint!
I've previously vented my irritation with the music press's tendency to lazily label and categorise new bands, but I'm sure The Magic Gang's new funk infused direction showcased on this EP will put the Weezer comparisons that the band have been saddled with to rest.
