User Album Review
The Magic Gang is a great sign of where the band want to go next. The beautiful "Take Care", which sees bassist Gus Taylor taking on vocal duties like The Magic Gang’s own Paul McCartney, forgoes the bouncy choruses the band are renowned for in favour of something more bittersweet. “Don’t you think world feels so much colder without our love?” Taylor croons, creating that rare break up song devoid of malice.
But The Magic Gang is also an album that celebrates where the band have been, with plenty of the lung-busting choruses that grabbed our attention in the first place. Familiar bangers like “Alright” and “How Can I Compete” become even bigger anthems than they were the first time around. Album closer “All That I Want is You” retains that summery Avi Buffalo-esque magic, while “All This Way” dials the harmonies up to 11. Here, their best has become that little bit better.
The Magic Gang is almost entirely about hope. Be that in the face of a break-up, at the cliff face of a new relationship, or simply when you’re starting to question everything about who you are. It’s the sort of record that’s guaranteed to lift your mood. A record that feels so familiar but with just enough surprises to make it exciting too. The three year wait, then, seems entirely worth it; that scrappy Brighton foursome have grown into a bonafide anthem factory with plenty more still to come.
