IT IS THE DAWN OF TIME

A wildly variable combination of players, MAGIC PEOPLE have flitted hither and fro in the past half decade, releasing and performing music of an odd bent in a loud way. In the autumn of 2007, a month long dramatic tour of Europe coalesced into the recordings you here today, taped by the inestimable KEVIN MICKA in Allston, Massachusetts. The line up at that time was JOHN MANSON on vocals and bass guitar, AL DEADERICK on keyboards, JOSH OWSLEY on drums and JESSE TRAVERS HUBBLE on noise and guitar feedback. YOU ARE THE MAGIC PEOPLE. Six songs of lyrical divide and musical untoward, a kind of rough joke with strong emotional disfunction. This one is for you.

“The latest batch of Magic People tunes cling closer to the rock margins, which is why some of the vocal turns and keyboard hooks in ‘The Pigeon and the Eggs’ have been stuck in my head for a month and why ‘Your Dude’ owes as much to Jonathan Richman’s post-adolescent word play as it does say, Roger Miller’s guitar snarls.” – Jeremy Krinsley

“Magic People keep it unsettling and repetitive while remaining weird enough to stay excellent and avoid the terrifying trap of genre exercise-type tedium. If you still live with your parents, blasting You Are the Magic People would be a great way to convince them that there’s a lot they don’t know about you.” – Joe Bernardi
