Mathemagic are a bit dreamy, like. Their track ('Breaststroke') is kinda making me think of Lucky Dragons doing some sort of shoegazey remix of themselves on some idyllic beach somewhere just as daylight is starting to fade.. I might get the lilo out and see if the sounds'll float me out of the window into the Armley sunshine. Young Prisms have apparently had stuff out on Mexican Summer so I'm sure they must be hot shit. 'These Days' has a little bit of a lo-fi Twin Peaks-y sort of vibe to it, as quite a few things seem to just at the moment. I guess fans of Best Coast will probably be pretty keen too.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Climbing over a wire fence. Lying down at the bottom of a pool. Empty. Picturing the waves. On old-fashioned tiles.
The Jeans Wilder/Best Coast split 7'' was just an introduction, a magical one. This new record is out/will be available on August 24th. On one side, MATHEMAGIC, children of the wave, Toronto's beaches. On the other (side), the wild YOUNG PRISMS, from San Francisco, who've already released several magnetic tracks on Mexican Summer and Transparent.
A retro sunset printed on a sleeveless shirt. The sound of the ocean on cassette tape. Two contemporary ripples of a dark and/or bright shoegaze.
'These Daze" is a previously unreleased song. And "Breaststroke" was only available - until now - as a digital download via Paper Bag Records.
