ABOUT THIS ITEM

We salivated over the recent Not Not Fun LP, and now this vinyl reissue of their debut CDR springs up. Magic Lantern came into being at the midpoint of the decade, sparked into existence by a simultaneous period of musical discovery. Inspired by the psychedelic approach to musical tone and structure in various eras and genres of rock (not at all excluding Germany and Japan in the 70s), the band realized they ought to make use of the new creative tools they'd stumbled upon, and began jamming the summer away in twin poles of Long Beach and Whittier, CA. Their influences provided blueprints for the band to develop a raw, stripped-down sound that emphasized hypnotic rhythms and improvised guitar duels.
