MG-203 The Magnificents - The Magnificents The Magnificents emerge from their lair beneath ye olde Edinburgh streets with their debut full-length, and with a name like the Magnificents, why shouldn’t the album be self-titled? An eleven track manifesto of synth led anthems, The Magnificents doesn’t pay homage to influences so much as it reawakens the raw energy of the summer of ’77. A whirl of battered analog keyboards, jagged guitars, dueling analog and digital drum work, surrounds the hook-laden songwriting that has become the Magnificents’ stock-in-tirade.

Reviews Summary

Don't so much have influences as seem to have directly tapped into the life-force of the greats - NME / Sound like precious little else at present. Record Of The Week - Scotland On Sunday / An overall stimulating discharge - The Scotsman / The Magnificents get it very right indeed, which is rare at this point in time - Art Rocker / Deserve all the hype they can get. Their ballsy, chaotic debut... works brilliantly - The List / Tunes that are currently making us pant like puppies for more - Bullit / Truly remarkable - Stylus
