The Library is On Fire

The recording sessions with Guided by Voices producer, Todd Tobias, lasting less than two weeks in the freezing Northeast Ohio cold, showed the band s ability to work at a breakneck pace with PINPOINT accuracy and culminated in the fifteen-song monolith LP/CD entitled Magic Windows, Magic Nights. Blending lo-fi cassette performances, urban NYC field recordings and tape samples with baroque orchestration and Tobias high-FI analog indie production, Magic Windows, Magic Nights clamors with the noise of a band firing on all pistons. Five s melodic songwriting often veers from languid to raging, and eclipses the band s 2008 Cassette debut, WItightened Mascis style guitar melodies and Brian Wilson style pop concision, while the gunfiredrumming of Sustarsic and polytoned subfrequencies of Shue coalesce into a heavy slamming machine. Magic Windows, Magic Nights showcases a band who know the meaning of impermanence and transition, and know how to bridge the gap between oblivion and survival.
