II [LP] (Insert)

Natural Magic - II [LP] (Insert)

Optimo Music presents Natural Magic's first album in 10 years. Natural Magic's II is a west coast road trip soundtrack for the fading summer. Taking inspiration from the majesty and myths of their home in the Pacific Northwest, the seven-track album is culled from the late night, dimly lit, live sessions of Mike McKinnon on keys/drums and Matthew Quiet on bass. Overdubs of guitar, synths and percussion followed. All this from the same space they throw their legendary limited-edition parties -- all-night free experimentation celebrations in their own right. The album art work is handmade flower pigments, opium poppy pollen ink and wood-scrap charcoal by their friend and collaborator Pith Cocomici. Roll the widows down, tilt the seat back and turn it up. Gas, grass or black mass -- there's magic in the hills. Includes insert. A1. Galaxy Builder (6:39) A2. Don't Look Back (7:42) A3. Distant Bells (2:54) B1. Skyward Eye (7:04) B2.
