SCHELDA’PEN-venue, Antwerp, 2006. Belgian writer J.M.H Berckmans (1953-2008) disrupting a Magik Markers gig that was already pretty chaotic in its own right. What a cold night for alligators it was.

Magik Markers - Acts of Desperation

Live @ Smog/Bard College, March 1, 2012

[magikmarkers]

Last month, Magik Markers, the psychedelic noise-rock trio from New England, returned from a long hiatus with their EP Isolated From Exterior Time: 2020. It was their first new release in six years. But as it turned out, that was just the beginning. Magik Markers have announced that they’ve got a whole new album, simply called 2020, coming out this fall. They’ve also dropped a new track, and it’s a monster.

The new Magik Markers single is called ‘CDROM,’ and it sprawls out over seven and a half minutes. Over a slow, restless groove, bandleader Elisa Ambrogio deadpans about mushrooms and about a tense astrological reading from a cousin. The music is a deep head-nod groove that splits the difference between Sonic Youth and doom metal. One of the best things about Magik Markers has always been that the band, unlike many of their noise-rock peers, actually rocks, and you really get that on ‘CDROM.’

2020:

01. Surf’s Up 02. Find You Ride 03. That Dream (Shitty Beach) 04. Born Dead 05. You Can Find Me 06. Hymn For 2020 07. Swole Sad Tic 08. CDROM 09. Quarry (If You Dive)

The secret lies in knowing how to proceed, how to concentrate deeply enough to produce the hallucination and succeed in substituting the dream reality for the reality itself. Artifice, besides, seemed to Des Esseintes the final distinctive mark of man’s genius. Nature had had her day, as he put it. By the disgusting sameness of her landscapes and skies, she had once for all wearied the considerate patience of æsthetes. Really, what dullness! the dullness of the specialist confined to his narrow work. What manners! the manners of the tradesman offering one particular ware to the exclusion of all others. What a monotonous storehouse of fields and trees! What a banal agency of mountains and seas!

Elisa Ambrogio + Tashi Dorji + Ben Chasny - Hopscotch Festival, King’s, Raleigh, North Carolina, September 11, 2015

Elisa Ambrogio - Hopscotch Festival, Fletcher Opera Theater, Raleigh, North Carolina, September 12, 2015

Thanks a million to Acid Jack for taping these two stupendous sets at Hopscotch Fest earlier this month (and NYC Taper for hosting the recordings!). The first is a spacious, triple guitar improv jam from Ambrogio, Dorji and Chasny, digging deep, flying high. The second is a more straightforward showcase for Ambrogio’s Immoralist LP, bolstered by Chasny on guitar, Nathan Bowles on drums and Jenifer Gelineau on violin. Beautiful stuff to end the work week with. And hey! Ambrogio is still touring – with a Denver date coming up. Radical.
