Magic Theatre - The Long Way Home

2013 release from the British Indie Pop band featuring former members of unsung Britpop heroes Ooberman. After a delicious first album that set up all the parameters that this new album expands on, they signed with Elefant Records. The magic appears almost immediately. 'The Sampler', a story of a sick Victorian girl trying to finish her embroidery project in time for her birthday, seems like a fairy tale invented by Tim Burton and composed by the famous Danny Elfman, with those arrangements of his that cradle you between mystery and innocence, creating a dream-like atmosphere.
