Artist Detailed Info: Magic Mirror

Songwriter Matthew Lindgren left Los Angeles to live in Spain for five years to gather inspiration from the bottoms of absinthe bottles, and returned with a collection of songs (recorded with help from friends in The Warlocks and The Brian Jonestown Massacre) variously described as “Spiritualized with Spanish guitars,” “Leonard Cohen fronting the Bad Seeds”, “Elvis, but only Elvis at Sun”, “The resurrection of Cash”, or “Breakup songs for brokedown people.” Magic Mirror strongly encourages you to listen for yourself. Fervent and romantic believers in the power of throbbing vintage organ seeping through reverb soaked guitars and haunted vocal harmonies delivering a beautiful, though bitter sermon, Magic Mirror offer songs to touch nerves in new ways and to help those who need help in the dark. Despite having only recently solidified as a live band based in Los Angeles, Magic Mirror has played concerts in Europe and toured with the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and played with Dead Meadow, Spindrift, and The Lilys in the United States. The debut album, Champagne and Hostages, will be released in the spring of 2008, label to be determined.
