Detective Larsson tap into some deep emotional territory on its single “Magic Show.” The great blend of acoustic guitar and washes of synth and cello are truly transporting in a way that perfectly complements Amanda Larsson’s warm, clear and delicately powerful vocals. It is a song about love but in a larger as well as the personal sense and its use of natural imagery like the Harvest Moon, morning dew, a pebble beach and the sunrise on the sea ground the track as its ethereal melodies coalesce and drift about enshrouding you in a sense of wonder. At times it’s reminiscent of “Lucky Man” by Emerson, Lake & Palmer but without that songs poignant sense of tragedy. This song sounds like its words are about making memories to last a lifetime and fans of Tindersticks will enjoy its inventive interweaving of organic sounds and those more abstract and electronic for a completely engrossing emotional listening experience with nuance and an ear for rich emotional colorings.
