Long Beach’s Magic Lantern have finally gone and released a new sonic document after what seemed like an eternity of waiting. Eagerly anticipated by those who have been biding their time waiting for the band to get on with their uber limited cassette only and CD-R releases (their Self-Titled CD-R was limited to 30), “High Beams”, the band’s latest opus [...]

I think I first read about The World Without Magic on a New York girl’s blog, it could have been Ultra Girl’s (does she still even blog anymore?) or it might have been over on I Rock, I Roll or I might be completely mistaken about both. I guess it’s not important, I just like to give credit of discovery where it is due.
I have had the two songs below in my iPod for I think a year now, both are from their self titled EP, which I was pleasantly surprised to find is now available on iTunes (btw dudes, your link to iTunes on your MySpace doesn’t work). These two songs have been good enough to last me a whole year without seeing the band live or being able to hear the whole album (until now) to get me to continually check in on the band to see what they are up to.
And what are they up to you ask? Well, they still don’t have any West Coast tour dates yet and they don’t appear to be heading to SXSW next month. But what they are doing is playing the Movable Hype/Gothamist 4-year anniversary show at the Luna Lounge this Thursday, so if you are reading this in NY, get out there and check them out. I would love to know what the band is like live, I have been curious ever since they were paired up with seemingly ill matched tour mates, Portugal The Man, late last year.
