It's easy to write Magic Kids off as just another indie-pop band in an increasingly overcrowded field. Memphis - Very Good, Based on 8 Critics. 85. It's easy to write Magic Kids off as just another indie-pop band in an increasingly overcrowded field. They came to national attention via MP3 blogs; their debut album is being jointly released by Matador and True Panther Sounds; they're mentioned alongside Brian Wilson and Belle & Sebastian; and, presuming their promotional video wasn't shot on Halloween, they take their fashion cues from the Bedford Avenue bohemians. But the Memphis, Tenn.

When the Magic Kids appeared seemingly out of nowhere in late 2009 with their single Hey Boy, they were out of step with the big trends sweeping through indie pop. The innocent jangle and child-like glee found in the grooves had nothing to do with chillwave, lo-fi, beach pop or C86 revival. Luckily, Memphis comes through like a dream. It includes both "Hey Boy" and "Superball" and as a testament to how good the album is, they fit into the overall picture instead of being highlights. All eleven songs are tiny symphonies of sweetly sung, perfectly arranged pop that fit together like puzzle pieces and result in a completely satisfying listening experience.

Initially Magic Kids echo the wide-eyed, surf-soaked bliss of Wilson & co’s early 60s output, but once plunged into this throwback world it’s worth noticing your surroundings. Phone is short, sweet and innocent, but its psychedelic trills and Tijuana brass hint at something more fascinating afoot, then Candy’s ghostly girl group backing vocals lend it an extra atmospheric allure. Increasingly, you realise Magic Kids’ pop vision is way more widescreen than you initially anticipated. Find out more about our use of this data, and also our policy on profanity.

Magic Kids - Memphis. 5 Release Date:2010-08-23 Label: True Panther. As odious as it is to make comparisons, Memphis, the debut album from Magic Kids, immediately and inescapably reminds you of the work of Brian Wilson, with coruscating harmonies and joyful m. The opening 'Phone' certainly does this, while later 'Hey Boy' strikes a Smile-like chord, also reminiscent of mid-era Beatles and Van Dyke Parks.
