Magic Kids - Hey Boy / Good To Be 7" (Goner)

Debut of Memphis pop band... tons of attention from UK folks including BMX Bandits' Norman Blake & other people who should know...

Brian Wilson hooks, great lush production, and a full color cover. On a Goner release... what hath the Box Elders brought? A long way from the 1st Guitar Wolf lp!

here's what Rough Trade said...

 without doubt rough trade shop's single of the year so far. the magic kids are a mysterious band of pop pranksters from memphis featuring members of the barbaras and girls of the gravitron. langley school x the beach boys x spector = the magic kids. it's a joyous vocal-centric song with impressive harmony and old-fashioned instrumentation - one listen and you will fall in love with this baby. total pop perfection. song of the summer? more like song of the year. on goner records.
