PABLO AMADOR
"Mixing elements of gothy postpunk and ethereal psych (with no shortage of hooks), their sound might best be described as witchy."
'"Heartbeat" is a five-minute dream pop tidal wave kept aloft by a snaking post-punk bassline, with vocalist Dexy Valentine coasting above it all with serene cool."
"Featuring many first takes of drums, guitars, and bass, [Jupiter] marks a shift in Magic Wands' sound, but one that exemplifies the band's musical growth and confidence."
"Album of the month."
