The time is approaching for SXSW 2012 to rear it's crazy head and along comes the responsibility to make a list of acts that you'd like to catch. You could do what my friend Nick does and just show up at parties and hope that he catches something he might like. I consider myself to be spontaneous, however, I like knowing that my trip to Austin wasn't a complete waste of time. Husband and wife duo from Magic Wands , Chris and Dexy Valentine, have crafted "Aloha Moon," set to be released worldwide via Bright Antenna [...]
LA dream-pop duo Magic Wands , comprised of the totally unrelated Chris and Dexy Valentine, have spent the last several years releasing their hazy blend of boy-girl pop exclusively through singles and EPs. On April 24th, the pair will at last release their debut full-length, Aloha Moon , via Bright Antenna. The lead single, "Space", is a sexy, synth-y ride through outer space on the wings of Dexy Valentine's sultry vocals and a driving guitar part. Stream it at SoundCloud . Aloha Moon Tracklist: 01. Aloha Moon [...]
El duo de Los Angeles que nos conquistara el 2009 con su EP Magic Love & Dreams, está de regreso. El próximo 24 de abril saldrá su primer LP titulado Aloha Moon y el primer sencillo se llama "Space". ♩ Magic Wands - Space extra: ♩ Magic Wands - Warrior (The xx remix)
Magic Wands: "Space" Aloha! It's been a while since we last heard from L.A. girl/guy indie pop duo Magic Wands and now they're back with their brand new jam "Space", the first taste from their forthcoming debut full-length album "Aloha Moon". The follow-up to their 20092s EP "Magic Love & Dreams" will be released on April 24 via Bright Antenna.

El efecto que tuvo Magic Wands por ahi de 2009 fue un tanto abrumador por toda la blogosfera y aun mas, con el hecho de que The xx tomaron uno de los tracks de su primer EP "Magic Love & Dream" para hacerle un remix bastante bueno el cual incluso se los estuve poniendo por aqui dentro de mi recap de 2010 sobre los mejores covers y remixes (que para mi) llegaron a marcar algun punto importante de ese año. Pero despues de esto, en realidad no habiamos tenido ninguna informacion sobre lo que estaba haciendo [...]
The Inrocks Indie Club, the monthly event of the magazine Les Inrocks at La Flèche d'Or is back tomorrow with the post-punk angulaire of Abe Vigoda, the psych-pop folk of Cloud Control and the shoegaze pop of Her Magic Wand. We're giving away 5x2 tickets to go discover them live.

Lorsqu'on vous annonce la venue d' Abe Vigoda à la Flèche d'Or, n'imaginez retrouver le personnage de Sal Tessio, issu de l'Univers du Parrain , pousser la chansonnette. Il s'agit bien du quatuor déjanté à l'origine de Skeletons et surtout Crush , ovni post-punk rance et moite. Une bande d'illuminés cédant à tous les excès et clairsemant sa musique de halos lumineux sur asphalte déglingué. Cousin australien de Local Natives , Cloud Control cultive la même passion pour les mélodies pop en clair-obscur, tendrement agitées, sauvagement mélancoliques. Entre vrais sourires [...]
You mightn't notice the force in this one initially but inside Her Magic Wand's 'Mistakes' li a strong beating heart. Perhaps it's because they come for Paris, perhaps not but this little tune is not to be underestimated. It came out last year on the 'Catch A Rainbow' EP and is very reminiscent of hugger faves Slushco from Atlanta. Early doors it all seems so relaxed with only a distorted vocal there to remind us that something is afoot. Pretty soon the guitars come crashing down however and 'Mistakes' becomes a thing for brightening up Mondays that never seem to [...]

In addition to sharing her favorite musical memories from the past year, NYC-based vocalist Madison counts down her favorite releases from 2010.
Magic Wands — Starships As I sit here, pulling an all-nighter typing up some math homework for a class I'm unmotivated for, I find myself indulging in some shoegaze. Although pseudorandom, the iTunes shuffle feature has provided me with a lovely night, including this rather trippy tune from Magic Wands. According to their MySpace , Magic Wands are a duo from "," who make tropical music. While I'm not sure if I'd want to listen to this while relaxing [...]
When I found out the Young & Lost Club girls, namely Nadia Dahlawi and Sara Jade, were a little younger than myself it really put how much they have done and how influential they are in the London music scene into some perspective for me. And now, celebrating their 50th single and 5 years as a label, they are releasing a double-disc compilation of 35 of their favourites. Their story is one of musical fairytale of sneaking out of boarding school to catch gigs around London, before starting a beautifully budget fanzine called Pyrrha,' [...]

The People To Get Excited About If You're Going To SXSW But Would Like Anyway Even If You Weren't Going Mix Part 1 of 2 You're probably wondering what the hell all those letters mean. Kicking off South By Southwest coverage this year is a massive mix for a massive fest. There's been quite a bit of material I could have covered before the fest officially goes down, and the operative phrase there is "could have." Undoubtedly, it's a gargantuan amount, and the time I've had lately has [...]
So we're less than a week away from another edition of South by Southwest. Soon the entire music world will descend on Austin for a week of endless drinking, party attending, and music viewing, all while failing to get an appropriate amount of sleep. An overwhelming thought to say the least, but we figured we'd get in a few more moments of normalcy before chaos ensued by putting together another hot edition of our Friday Mixtape. This week's collection features several of this year's SXSW attendees, as well as few heavy hitters. We hope you enjoy! [...]

While not being a great one for remixes on MM, we're not so narrow minded that we don't let our ears be tickled on occasion - providing it is damn good of course. And so it is with the XX's remix of Warrior by Magic Wands (whom we have previously posted about here ). This is a crackerjack of infectious rhythm and controlled aggression. Watch the video for the original below, then grab yourself the remix. [...]
