Magic Man

The triumphant synth-rock band hailing from Boston, MA, are back with a new single, entitled "Paris." This bright and irresistibly catchy new song is a wonderful mixture of warm synths and cute lyricism. It is from Magic Man's 5-track EP, entitled You Are Here via Columbia Records. The EP is filled with propulsive and mightily infectious pop gems. With the addition of three more members it appears that the band have further polished their sound. "Paris" was inspired after band members, Sam and Alex spent some time in France after their freshman year of college.

"It's when we started writing what would become the first Magic Man songs," Sam explains in a recent interview. "Alex also studied abroad in Paris for a semester, so France has always been an important part of Magic Man's history." He adds, "['Paris'] was our attempt to recapture a little of what Paris felt like to us and bring that to life in our little studio back home."

Magic Man is Alex, Daniel, Joey, Justine, and Sam. They wowed us nearly a year ago with their ability to capture and build upon these influences with their 2010 debut full-length album, Real Life Color. They have never shied away from mixing up buzzing synths and flaming guitars to serve up a hot and happening brew of hyper-melodic indie pop. They are now joining New Politics on a tour around the country.
