NEW FOXYGEN ALBUM OUT TODAY!

image003jag252.11298Foxygen is back with a swirling double album entitled … And Star Power, and it’s now available at The Record Exchange on CD and vinyl!

Of the album, Pitchfork says: “Its kitchen-sink messthetic encompasses pristine power pop, stoner country-rock, a four-part title-track suite (overture included) that introduces the band’s punk-alter-ego-cum-pirate-radio-station Star Power, space-age bachelor-pad synth doodles, Lou Reed-copping junkie poetry, acid-folk rambles reminiscent of Syd Barrett, Feelies-esque jabber-jangle; and a song that sounds like Suicide crashing a Frankie Avalon/Annette Funicello beach party. And that’s all before we’ve even reached Side Three (the one accurately subtitled “Scream: A Journey Through Hell”).

SLOW MAGIC IN-STORE SUNDAY, OCT. 12

sm-summer-2014-press-photo-frontSlow Magic will perform live at The Record Exchange (1105 W. Idaho St.) at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12. As always, this Record Exchange in-store event is free and all ages. Slow Magic is performing at The Crux later that evening and we have tickets for sale at the store!

ABOUT SLOW MAGIC
418456072101-500

A DIY project with worldwide scope, Slow Magic is universal and inclusive. It’s cosmic electronic music culled from the ether, yet crafted with human hands. It’s joyous, escapist, multi-disciplinary art that mixes transcendent performance with the nostalgic intimacy of two teenagers staying up too late on the phone.

How To Run Away, Slow Magic’s debut with Downtown Records, reflects this growth, oozing both otherworldly beauty and a mastery of production. Lead Single “Girls” is deconstructionist house with an organic pulse and collaged, handcrafted samples. “Hold Still” sculpts elastic organs and jazz piano into an emotionally-pummeling finale, while the melancholy “Let U Go” merges watery dub with spectral piano and “Closer” plays like a ‘90s R&B fever dream.

Slow Magic is music by your imaginary friend.
