The Magick Heads - Before We Go Under (www.youtube.com)

Tbh it was hard to choose a single song from this group to share. I discovered The Magick Heads after being a long time listener of Flying Nun staples The Bats, The Clean, and other Dunedin Sound acts, and was thrilled to find more extremely catchy, jangly, pop to dig into. No coincidence that the group was yet another project of The Bats frontman Robert Scott, so it immediately resonated, but the two albums from this band are some of my favorites from his whole catalog - even more of which is trickling out periodically on his bandcamp!

You must have been reading my mind. I have almost posted this one a couple of times. Believe it or not, I once went to a Magick Heads gig. Every so often, I listen to this album as well as the follow up. Have you heard Bob Scott's Electric ~~Easter~~ Blood stuff?
