piano magic

The unveiling of this second volume of Piano Magic singles, EP cuts and sundry extra-curricular pieces comes with the news that the band – which began way back in 1996 – may have amicably called it a day, for at least an extended indefinite hiatus.

Few artists make it through 11 albums and still stay as relevant as the first 2-3 records. Piano Magic has come through with yet another great record. They step back to their roots with a darker more electronic album, reminiscent of Artists Rifles and Low Birth Weight. This is a must have!

2009 release. Recorded May through August of 2009 by Gareth Parton at his petite La Planque studio and The Fortress in London, Ovations is the Anglo-French group's 10th album proper. Typically for a Piano Magic record, it's a restless beast; a record that swings wildly between Marrakesh, Eastern Europe, Sevilla and early '80s Manchester without breaking a sweat. Piano Magic have always worn their influences on their sleeves. The Chameleons, Joy Division and The Cure rub shoulders with Turkish darabuka, hammered dulcimer, viola, cello, flamenco claps. Elsewhere there are cold analogue synths, chiming guitars, mournful piano and industrial percussion.

This `99 release sounds like some lost `80's masterpiece of dark atmospherics and sweetly gloomy pop. Wonderful and eerie, experimental and dreamy, trance and organic psychedelia in a mix of male and female vocals. Bringing to mind: Deux Filles, Strawberry Switchblade, Durutti Column, Anna Domino and such contemporary outfits as; Hood, Jessamine, Current 93, Tindersticks, and Lambchop's darkest musings. Piano, not so much, Magic, much indeed. Twilight drawing room's shifting ambience and slowly emerging details, keep this sound/song tapestry consistently captivating.

A banda de Glen Johnson, porque como vocalista e compositor é o seu fio condutor, e porque os restantes elementos apenas são colaboradores, é uma das prolíficas da música britânica. Com vários singles e albuns espalhados por diversas editoras, os Piano Magic poderiam ser uma das bandas da 4AD, se na década de 80 estivéssemos, não só pela melancolia de muitas das canções, mas acima de tudo pelo sons que são típicos daquela editora.
