What we say about High Beams, by Magic Lantern

This record left our Ant feeling happy.

BACK IN on Not Not Fun is a very cool LP from Magic Lantern ' High Beams' . For fans of The Heads/ Wooden Shjips and good old psychedelic rock but this is more sludgey and freeform. It proper rocks man. Nice production sound too and mastered by James Plotkin. Cool psyche collage insert too. Listening to this record makes me think that this southern Californinan band have such a great time soaking up the rays of the sun, smoking weed and playing rock n roll. Phil is reminded of Spacemen 3. A fantastically good rock record.

What the label says about High Beams, by Magic Lantern:

After far, far too long lost in the merch-less dark, the LBC’s most married band, Magic Lantern, finally beam down the blinding full-length psych-statement we always knew they had hidden inside. It only took the Southern California sector a single 5-song demo plus a handful of incense-dense komische live flights to fully fall under the spell of ML’s oncoming headlights, but now the rest of the globe can hop on the band’s wild wagon. Hold on. High Beams throws out the total 20-sided die of the their illuminative powers, from stomping, storming show staples like “Deathshead Hawkmoth” and “Vampires In Heat” through to Sun Araw-vibed chime trancers (“Feasting On Energy”) and even a good time acid-addled feedback boogie (“Cactus Raga”). These are all of the Lanterns’ classic long-form anthems, captured in glorious high-def thanks to Bobb Bruno’s attuned production/recording capabilities and a radiant mastering job courtesy of James Plotkin. The riffs rip, the drums destroy, and the organ burns a hole in the sun. Walk into the light. Black vinyl LPs (with full color center labels) in glossy jackets with flag photography by Cameron & Erica Stallones, plus a fried-eyed, full-color 11x17 poster. Edition of 500.
