ABOUT
Ahead of the release of their second album on August 21st The Magic Gang announce ‘Death Of The Party (Bonus Edition)’ features three additional tracks that were also recorded in Atlanta during album sessions with the Grammy-winning producer Ben H. Allen (Deerhunter, Animal Collective, Gnarls Barkley) on zoetrope picture disc.

The three additional songs – ‘Go Moving’, ‘Make Time For Change’ and ‘Out Of Mind’ – will only be pressed on vinyl as part of this release, making it an essential purchase for collectors.

The ‘Bonus Edition’ features psychedelic zoetrope artwork by Drew Tetz from video animations by  Laura Jayne Hodkin.

The Magic Gang approached the making of ‘Death Of A Party’ with two objectives in mind. They aimed to broaden the scope of their harmony-rich, melodically focused pop. And inspired by Lou Reed, Alex Turner and especially Jonathan Richman they wanted to take a more observational lyrical approach.

The stories they tell reflect the experiences of many of their early-twentysomething contemporaries. They explore anxieties about money, relationships and the future, but also the fun moments that they use to escape from such issues.

Two songs – Jack Kaye’s ‘Make A Sound’ and Kristia Smith’s title track – best encapsulate their flair for a narrative, with two radically different perspectives on a New Year’s Eve party. Meanwhile, the album closer ‘(The World) Outside My Door’ explores Jack’s guilt at writing music while the Extinction Rebellion protests were hitting the streets.

** Images and videos are representative of the finished product. Zoetrope animations require specific viewing conditions, and the animated effects shown in videos may not be visible to the naked eye. Please refer to the viewing tips below for guidance.

——————————————————————-

How To View: To get the most out of your zoetrope and see the animated effects, try one of the methods below.

For the clearest results, use bright, even lighting and keep your camera steady above the record. If using strobe effects, please be mindful of anyone nearby who may be sensitive to flashing lights.

  • View or record the animation through your phone camera, with the frame rate set to 30 or 60 FPS.
  • Use a zoetrope or strobe-light app.
  • Use an adjustable LED strobe light to view the animation with the naked eye.

——————————————————————-

Please note: Due to the way picture discs (including zoetropes) are manufactured, they can produce slightly more surface noise during playback than traditional vinyl, particularly during quieter moments. This is a well-known characteristic of the format and isn't unique to our pressings.
