Pleased to Meet You: Inner Magic

If you mention a blend of krautrock and Felt as your influences, that is definitely going to get my attention, which is what came our way with the PR from Inner Magic. Sure, former members of Chromatics and Smashing Pumpkins should have caught my attention, but the above line was what sold me…that and this cascading bit of pop music. This lead single is a big striking guitar pop song, sort of sedate in its presentation, though I prefer to think of it as more meditative. The vocal glow gets the added bonus of accompaniment from Ruth Radelet (also of Chromatics), so they’re clearly not shying away from the delights of harmony. Plus, if you go to the bandcamp page HERE, you can also grab a B-Side where the duo cover a bit of Spacemen 3, so clearly they’re checking off all the boxes on my tastes.
