...according to our Phil on 18 October 2007.

White Magic have a great CD out on Drag City. It's a 4 track EP of some seriously good tunes with some stunning songwriting on there. I've not really heard much by these folks before but they make a pleasing noise. Lashings of lovely haunting piano.... Sinead O Connor esque vocals. I swear though... The track Poor Harold is absolute genius... It reminds me of another song which is giving me sleepless nights trying to work out what is was. I love the drumming in it as well. Great stuff. Dark Stars is on CD and big vinyl.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

In our galaxy small regions of space weighing more than about five of our suns exist. They consume nearby gas and stars and nothing ever escapes their grasp. In the centers of large galaxies these regions can weigh as much as several billion suns — DARK STARS.The “DARK STARS” EP contains themes of the Universe, and the dark stars that remain unseen in the night sky and within us. They are the infinite holes in the universe and in the human soul, remnants of a supernova. Invisible stars exist if they are massive enough. The “Dark Stars” EP is succinct and has a more immediate sound than the sprawling landscape and detail of its predecessor DAT ROSA MEL APIBUS, yet still captures the same spirit of depth and exaltation.Mira Billotte's song writing and vocal incantations once again convey an ephemeral, immortal universe of sounds. “DARK STARS” also has great vocal additions from Doug Shaw that interweave with Mira’s commanding voice, plus an excellent Doug Shaw composition called "Winds". In addition, Jim White contributes his complimentary and intuitive powers on drums. Tim Koh adds a new layer of strength on bass with intricate lines and just the right emphasis on key parts.
