Album Notes
Elefant: Diego Garcia (vocals); Mod (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Jeff James (bass guitar, background vocals); Kevin McAdams (drums, percussion).Elefant's sophomore release is a serious advance on their debut, SUNLIGHT MAKES ME PARANOID. Whereas that album displayed a penchant for 1980s British indie rock and new wave a la the Smiths and the Cure, the BLACK MAGIC SHOW sublimates that influence onto a varied, colorful, style-spanning canvas that encompasses hard rock, dance rhythms, sunshine pop, and blissful guitar noise.Frontman and songwriter Diego Garcia's '80s obsession remains apparent, and the album's tight, addictive grooves and gorgeous, expansive production will earn Elefant comparisons to Bloc Party and the Killers. Yet Garcia's sensibility is distinctive. Dark and brooding, his songs are full of yearning and paranoia, which strain pleasingly against the meticulous songcraft. Blasting the sophomore slump to smithereens, THE BLACK MAGIC SHOW is sure to gain Elefant plenty of attention.
