Magic Shoppe are known for delighting in distortion and reverb. Taking notes from My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, Sonic Youth & Loop they have a European Psych Shoegaze sound which flirts with Noise Rock. Warm and fuzzy tonality can washout into soundscapes or crash into a maelstrom. They balance retro and futuristic music with thumping bass and jangling rhythms mixed with dark vocal melodies.
On Mono Lake the band continue this aural assault, but also revisit some of the sounds on their debut Wonderland LP. The first digital single "I Feel High" (available via Spotify, Apple Music, etc..) comes out Friday, January 14th.
With three well-received European tours since 2017, the band will embark on their fourth European tour with California's Asteroid No.4 in November 2022.

Juxtaposing lo-fi warmth with library music spaciousness, CV Vision's "In Time" teaches a lesson in transformative psych. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 14, 2021
A truly outstanding album from my favourite psych band with my favourite track of them (for now) - what else could one wish for? "Centre" manages to take a more "lively" turn compared to the previous albums (which were already strong) so there's nothing to critize here, only pure relaxation to find! Icleansethedoorsofperception
