The modern goths of indie Piano Magic are back with a new CD on Green UFO's. Part Monster is a more gothy breathy rocky affair which sounds like it should be on 4AD. What happened with all of that? They were on 4AD for a wee while. Only had chance to hear a bit of this but it sounds most moody (and mardy).... there's bits of shoegazey rock in there as well. It's produced by Guy Fixen as well who was the genius behind Moonshake and Laika. Nice.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

'Part Monster' is the new album by PIANO MAGIC, an English band led by Glen Johnson with four French members, all living in London. Throughout
their intense ten-year career, PIANO MAGIC have worked with renowned labels from all over the world: 4AD, Che, Rocket Girl etc. They have become a true cult band, building up a loyal fan base in the UK,  building a strong reputation across Europe for powerful live appearances. Moving away from the electronic pop of the previous album 'Disaffected', 'Part Monster' is an album of songs with energetic and atmospheric guitars which are combined with electronics that are reminiscent of seminal electronic bands such as Kraftwerk and New Order. Produced by Guy Fixsen of Laika (The Pixies, My Bloody Valentine's "Loveless"). Guest appearances by: Simon Rivers (The Bitter Spings), Angele David-Guillou (Klima on Peacefrog) and Terry Edwards. PIANO MAGIC of Part Monster is definitely a rock band, albeit perhaps one from another planet.'Part Monster' truly crowns their ten-year career, a magnificent work that will delight fans
