I Only Exist When You See Me

Magic Kids “Phone Song”

Magic Kids aren’t the type of band to reinvent the wheel of sunshine pop. Think of them more like artisans invested in crafting very fine wheels of sunshine pop. They’re a deliberate and welcome anachronism; if this was food you’d probably find them at a nice farmer’s market or upscale specialty grocery. “Phone Song” is immediately familiar, and there are probably dozens of oldies that sound almost the same, but there’s a charm in their adaptation of an old timey songwriting recipe, and a quality in how they put it all together. It’s cute and lovely, and though that’s not always enough, it’s fine enough here.
