Synopsis

Album Description

"With the whir of keyboards, clicking percussion and the most brittle of voices, Piano Magic create disarmingly pretty and oddly evocative records." - ALTERNATIVE PRESS World-exclusive to Important Records, a five-track EP of brand-new material from London's Piano Magic! In stark contrast to last winter's Opencast Heart EP, Incurable brings to mind the mid-`80s ethereal romanticism of This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins and Dead Can Dance. It's a glacially produced, though spiritually warm, set of songs featuring guest vocals from Angele David-Guillou of Klima, recently signed to the esteemed Peacefrog label, who is currently recording her debut with producer Guy Fixsen (Laika, My Bloody Valentine).

CD Reviews

Trouble in Piano-dise

Noel Pratt | Washington, D.C., and better places | 04/06/2006

(3 out of 5 stars)

"First off, the cover wrap says 5 tracks, but it's only 4. Nineteen+ minutes. Second, we start the record with an upbeat number that to me is not reminiscent of what that cover wrap states when it compares this EP to This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, and Dead Can Dance. That leaves three songs and so far they're pretty good; but overall, my feeling, my fear, is that Glen and Piano Magic are slipping in the quality of the writing (okay, so you've got a great co-vocalist in Angele) and may not recover. It's like now they know what they're supposed to give us, the "glacial pop" everyone expects, including me. But somehow it's not what it used to be. Should they break new ice? Should they build warm campfires over the old? It's anybody's guess."
