What we say
What the label says: "Michael Varty and Suzy Mangion sound partly like Manchester's answer to Low, but a studied eccentricity percolates their music, pitched somewhere between folk electronica and sepia-hued melancholy. Instrumentally, 'The Magic Lantern' display's an antiquarian's magpie methodology, with George's vintage sense of otherness broadly occupying the same territory as Pram. However, Suzy Mangion's voice cuts through the muggy layer of postmodernism to deliver songs that beautifully capture a sense of perpetual loss through the passing of time itself. The music's junk shop aesthetic matches primitive electronica and music box tinkling in a style that sometimes veers close to sentimentality, but is rescued in the end by its unassuming charm" [Tom Ridge, The Wire] |
