on the 10th of April US synth-pop five piece Magic Man released their Columbia Records debut album, Before The Waves, through Sony Music Entertainment Australia.
New England-based Magic Man was started by childhood friends Alex Caplow (vocals) and Sam Vanderhoop Lee (guitars and keyboards) while they traveled abroad trading labour for room and board on a series of French organic farms, creating the music for what would become Magic Man during their travels. Now they’re living a particularly lucid version of that childhood dream – playing summer amphitheaters all over the country with three of their friends (Gabe Goodman on bass, Justine Bowe on keyboard and Joey Sulkowski on drums).
Taken from the LP was the addictive and hooky single ‘It All Starts Here’ – produced by Alex Aldi (Passion Pit, Holy Ghost!), who also worked with the band on their You Are Here EP. Check out the stunning video below and if you like what you hear be sure to pop by iTunes to pick up your copy of the LP.
