Magic Man - Band Review

UPDATE - September 10, 2013 - Unfortunately, Magic Man removed most of its free downloads. We understand, because they have moved to a level of notoriety at which giving away music is not a good business move.  We wish them continued success, because they have earned it. 

On the other hand, "Every Day" was made available for a while (press the arrow to access the song:


****************************************************************
     Magic Man is a synth-rock band  that hails from Providence, Rhode Island. The band started as a duo, but Sam Lee and Alex Caplow have been joined by Justine Bowe, Nolan Robert, and Daniel Radin.  Another significant artist is the person who provided the artwork for the two releases this year – “Texas” and “Paris.”  Ted Wiggin is credited with the artwork. Nice work Ted.
     But the music must keep the attention of potential fans, and Magic Man delivers. “Texas” exhibits the vocal strenghth of the band, as well as the ability to smoothlessly transition among energy levels. A good example of an energy transition is around the 1:00 mark of the song.

      "Paris" by Magic Man 

      Here is something from the "old" Magic Man (2011) - "Darling"


 "Nova Scotia."
