Chorus Line To Hell

Back Magic

Chorus Line To Hell

Milvia Son
LP $10.50

Milvia Son is positively stoked to present the first full-length LP by Back Magic, following a cassette and a couple of limited run lathe cuts on Nick Hoffman’s esteemed Pilgrim Talk label. While the line-up and sonics have varied over Back Magic’s brief history, the relative constants thus far are Hair EXP on guitar and vocals, and Terror Trans on drums. This LP features just the core duo doing what they do very well indeed…which occasionally sounds like a proto-embryonic version of The Great Society if they replaced Grace with some chanting monks, and other times sounds like a couple burned-out monks getting their rocks on after stumbling across an amp and some drums. The album is very much in the vein of their “Dream Lover” cassette, described by Byron Coley as a “curiously strong” recording of “a guitar, a drum, and a lung playing skeletal miniatures from inside a ghost garage”, and by Ed Pinsent as embodying “a shrill plangency that makes you want to cry and shudder at the same time.” Like many haunted recordings, this one finishes with a question mark that will leave you wondering what the hell just happened. Limited to 250 copies with cover and insert art by Nick Hoffman, beautifully silk-screened by Alan Sherry.
