True Panther have finally announced the official details about Magic Kids debut album. The album is called Memphis, and will be released on August 24th. The announcement was accompanyied by a free mp3 of a brand new song called “Summer”, which will be included on Memphis.
“Summer” is slower than pop jams like “Hey Boy” that we have heard from Magic Kids so far. In the words of Magic Kids, “This song isn’t ‘fun in the summertime’ kind of summer, but more the wistful, fighting-loneliness-with-your-friends kind of summer. We felt like sharing this one because honestly, it’s torture watching summer days blaze by without people having this mellow anthem at their disposal.”
The description is spot on. This summer has been sort of strange for me, so this song is hitting all the right spots. “Summer” has the Beach Boys sense of harmony and melody. There is no denying that this one is pretty. Sounds like it would belong in the 50’s, not 2010.
I called Magic Kids a band to watch, and I strongly stand behind that statement. These kids are gonna rock your world.
