Swedish troubadour Jens Lekman drops science — and a little metaphysics — to explain how and why he met his significant other in epic fashion on the discoriffic single “How We Met, The Long Version”. And that’s the story of how we met The long version And you can call[…]
If you’re a longtime reader of this column you know very well how much we love our spooky-themed instrumental compositions here on Monday Magick. You probably also know that these instrumental tracks are often quite extremely lengthy. And while today’s entry, “Energy Fools the Magician” from avant-garde Pop musician, composer, and[…]
It’s been eight long months since Monday Magick graced this space with its wondrous presence. A combination of factors, including lack of time & energy, changes to my work schedule, big upheavals at home, and a fluctuation in passions, contributed to the hiatus. There have been moments along the way[…]
Kesha? On Imageyenation? Isn’t she shitty mainstream Pop music? Yeah, sorta. But spaceships, tentacles, rainbows, godlessness, the gloirifcation of “sin” & being fucked up, allusions to being made of stardust, and a denial of heaven? That’s got our decidedly Thelemic, vaguely Luciferian stamp all over it! “Hymn” is from Kesha’s[…]
Watch King Krule and his band of zombies do a new millennium monster mash in the ooky-spooky video clip for his smooth new Bossa-Nova-tinged single “Dum Surfer”. “Dum Surfer” is the second track released from the British troubadour’s forthcoming sophomore LP, ‘The Ooz’, due out October 13th on True Panther[…]
Southern inflected Dad Rock meets Punk Rock vaguely eerie, sort of occulty vibes in the new video clip for Philly-based quintet Sheer Mag’s catchy-as-hell “Suffer Me”. “Suffer Me” is from Sheer Mag’s debut studio LP ‘Need to Feel Your Love’, which is out July 14th via Static Shock. Sheer Mag
Earlier today I got an excited instant message from a friend asking if I’d seen the new Katy Perry video. I had not. The message came from an individual with whom I’d once engaged in fantasy sex-play involving simulated murder, necrophilia, and anthropophagy. It read, simply, “cannibalism”. The video, for[…]
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett’s “virtual band” Gorillaz is back with a 360-degree interactive video, replete with Lovecraftian tentacle monsters, for their new Caribbean-spiced auto-tune Electro-Dancehall-Pop tune “Saturnz Barz (Spirit House)”. “Saturnz Barz”, which features vocals from Popcaan, is the first single from the animated group’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Humanz’,[…]
This is SO me right now. These adorably depressing “rainbow Goth Girl” visuals are for “Sweet Sound of Ignorance”, the languid new single from French Emo girl chanteuse Stéphanie “SoKo” Sokolinski. “Sweet Sound of Ignorance” is the first new music SoKo has released since her most recent album ‘My Dreams[…]
Considering Aleister Crowley’s Thelemic proclamation that “every man and every woman is a star in 1904’s ‘Liber AL vel Legis’ and the importance of “starry wisdom” and “the stars” being “right” in H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos it kinda makes sense I’d be feeling French Electro/Techno guy Vitalic’s “Waiting for the[…]
Peep the surprisingly dark and horrific new video clip for my hands down favorite song at the moment, Argentine popstress Tei Shi’s sexily sadomasochistic slow-flow Electro-Funk jam “How Far”. “How Far” is from her forthcoming LP ‘Crawl Space’ which is set to hit retailers on March 31st via Downtown/Interscope. Tei[…]
A video featuring a giant space structure and a super sci-fi flavored alien witch-cult for a new millennium take on early ’90s House music is exactly the sort of weirdness I needed from Swedish Synth-Funk outfit Little Dragon right about now. “Safe” is from Little Dragon’s forthcoming fifth LP ‘Season[…]
