White Magic

Dat Rosa Mel Apibus

[1/5] First, let us say we love us some Drag City music, and when we got a hold of this disc, with its fetching sleeve and unpronounceable album title, we were ready to be transported to another plane of consciousness. What we weren’t ready for was to be moved to tears-of boredom that is-over this annoying anglophile wannabe puja chant mush. When the droney, meandering songs actually pause, it’s only to remind you that you could be listening to anything other then this crap. Sadly, this is the kind of band that “hip” people think is the shit. But call us dorks-we’ll stick with black magic any day of the week. Did we mention the packaging was sweet?
