...according to our Phil on 17 September 2009.
Super incredible...possible single of the year potential here...The Magic Kids are a mysterious band of pop prankstersfrom Memphis featuring members of The Barbaras andGirls of the Gravitron who, after they re banished from thekingdom, discover a secret bohemian forest shanty. There,they work tirelessly to create the magical sound that willlift the spell and grant them entrance back into the castle.The Kids channel Jan and Dean, Brian Wilson, and PhilSpector for Hey Boy, their first single. Will it be enough toappease the King and his court? Only time will tell. These guys seem much too young to cram this much boy/girl-group-three-part-harmony-wall-of-sound-Phil-Spector-reloading madness into one song, but I guess that s theway they raise them in Memphis these days. Whether or notthey ve lived it, they ve heard it, and ultimately that s halfthe battle. If you can t score the movie playing in your headto this song, consider getting a new movie. RCRD LBL One of the many bands that made a big impression on folksat SXSW this past week was Memphis, TN s the MagicKids. This multi-member band seems like an educatedbunch on Hey Boy. Riffing on the 60s pop songbook,they lift the micro-orchestrations of Phil Spector or BrianWilson for a wall-of-sound led by a Mike Love-like leadvocal, some skronking horn, and some delectable three-partharmonies. Exclaim!
