Magician Johnson - The Silver Demos

Review by Steve Riches

Magician Johnson's album, The Silver Demos, is a must-listen for any fan of indie rock. The album showcases the band's unique sound, blending catchy guitar riffs and powerful vocals with thoughtful lyrics that touch on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery.

The album opens with the upbeat and energetic "Waves," which immediately draws listeners in with its infectious melody and driving rhythm. From there, the band takes listeners on a journey through a range of emotions and experiences, from the introspective "In Your Head" to the cathartic "Break Me Down."

One standout track is "Silver Lining," a haunting ballad that showcases the band's ability to create an atmosphere of melancholy and longing. The track builds slowly, with layers of guitar and vocals building to a powerful crescendo that leaves a lasting impression.
