The Brooklyn-based rock n roll outfit Magnetic Island has hit the synths harder on their new EP, and, whaddya know, they called it Keyboard. QRO loved the Daydream Nation-esque strains on their EP Out At Sea, and the added electronic oomph gives them a whole new flavor. Good stuff for a 4th of July weekend.
"We've Really Bonded" weaves guitar licks above a growling Casio foundation while "Diner" foregrounds the electronica a bit more, with a layer-upon-layer keyboard crescendo that builds into a stormcloud of sonic revolt.
Listen to all of Keyboard at the Bandcamp, and download it while the downloading is still free! Also, catch 'em on Twitter...Stream "We've Really Bonded"

Those lucky enough to
enter the House of Blues Boston took a spacey journey
that felt like one long dream starting with opening act I Break Horses.
The student-filled O2 Academy in Manchester started heaving
