Shattering prodigious instrumental gifts, gathering the shards and constructing a frenzied form of ‘experimental post-rock from God's womb’, magnetic multi-instrumentalists, MAGNOLIA release only their third piece of new music in the form of new single, Five Hundred – OUT NOW. Sketching out mellow plains of rest alongside episodes of rattling abandon, the intricate and innovative Norwich seven-piece affect an experience of equal disquiet and peculiar pleasure over another no-punches-pulled early career statement.
MAGNOLIA’s springtime debut, Television, followed by Feed Me, landed as a brooding, otherworldly incendiary, shaking out support from BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Soho Radio alongside it’s ultra-limited 12” vinyl release. Concocting temperamental storms of cutting riffs, harmonic melody and corrosive blasts of sax-borne unruliness, winking at influences including Black Midi, Maruja and Opus Kink, the release of Five Hundred now boxes up a song tailor-made for the band’s searing live outings to become a fractious, seam-bursting consumable for the streaming age.
Adam Turner, singer and bassist, says: “Five Hundred was written early in our time together as a band, with minor changes since. The lyrics overall don’t have any major personal meaning to me, it’s a sort of story or journey about a rather emotionally dark subject, yet one I have only observed rather than experienced. That being said, there are a few lines which hold greater relevance than others and can be put to any situation and taken into different interpretations making it more widely resonant.”
