Details
Timely repress of this long sold out debut: (new, and final LP due soon on NNF) California's Magic Lantern came into being at the midpoint of the decade, sparked into existence by a simultaneous period of musical discovery for its members. Inspired by the psychedelic approach to musical tone and structure in various eras and genres of rock (particularly Germany and Japan in the '70s), the band realized they ought to make use of the new creative tools they'd stumbled upon, and began jamming the summer away in twin poles of Long Beach and Whittier, CA. Their influences provided blueprints for a raw, stripped-down sound that emphasized hypnotic rhythms and improvised guitar duels.
