album:Dat Rosa Mel Apibus
label:drag city
style:indie/dark folk
release:2006.11.14

来自布鲁克林的white magic由负责主唱/吉他/钢琴的Mira Billotte担当领帅.早年间她曾与其姐姐Charlotte组成过Quix*o*tic乐队在独立乐界闯荡.当这个project解散以后,她又邀得Ida的Miggy Littleton(drummer/bass)以及California Speedway的Andy Macleod(drummer/guitar)组成了white magic的基本队伍.早年曾在纽约闯荡.至2003年时与drag city签约.并与次年发行了他们的EP:[Through the Sun Door].

而今年独立乐迷们期待已久的他们的新专集终于出炉了.只是这次差不多变成了Billotte的个人秀了.原有的乐队成员班底已经弃用,换来的是全部的客席乐手的加入.例如来自Gang Gang Dance的Tim DeWit,来自dirty three的jim white以及负责大部分器乐演奏的Doug Shaw.但是班底的撤换并没有削弱主创Billotte在音乐中的地位.white magic在这张新作里体现出的是更加妖娆,更加暗色系的民谣之声.Billotte更加坚定的声线,带来的也是一个几乎崭新的White Magic.

After their celebratory 2004 folk entrancement debut EP 'Through The Sun Door', White Magic has evidently turned out to be a one-woman show headed by keyboardist/singer Mira Billote who ,only a few years ago, co-fronted Quix*O*Tic with her sister. While the original White Magic possesed a very definitive lineup of drummer Miggy Littleton (who has returned to Blood On The Wall) and guitarist Andy McCleod are out to lunch, it is obvious to hear that Billote was the member who steered the Magic's creative wheel and soaked the group's sound with her unmistakeable Grace Slick-meets-Roma-stoytelling-voice.
