Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple I could listen to Magic Fig endlessly… forever. The band's brilliant blend of swirling psych pop, folk-tinged prog, and 60's art rock is meticulously arranged yet performed with a sense of exuberance, of wanderlust. Valerian Tea, the band's new album, weaves between wonky time signatures, layered synths, keys, mellotron (courtesy of Jon Chaney and Inna Showalter), jaw-dropping fills (courtesy of Taylor Giffin), and celestial vocal melodies to create the most stunning of potions. Magic Fig make music that's profoundly complex and yet feels like easy listening, a gentle breeze on the LSD tinged air. They are a band of equal parts, everyone contributing the majestic whole, each guitar and bass riff (courtesy of Muzzy Moskowitz and Matthew Ferrara) as vital as their melodic choices. This is prog rock that's rooted deep into explorative pop and dreamy psych, a record that's ambitious but plays it so damn cool.
