MG-207 The Magnificents - Year Of Explorers  Year Of Explorers, the latest from daring Scottish band The Magnificents, is an epic saga of stolen synths, left-handed guitars, trans-European expressways, covert product placement, and serious studio tomfoolery. Following months of touring, twiddling and general sonic invention, The Magnificents are finally ready to unleash their long-awaited second LP. Employing a bewildering array of dusty keyboards, wires, boxes and buttons, The Magnificents have meticulously crafted Year Of Explorers with a little help from esteemed producers Damian Taylor (Bjork, Unkle) and John Cummings (Mogwai). Whereas their eponymous debut was primarily fuelled by raw punk power and electrifying excess, the sophomore LP demonstrates a more measured method. Not to say the boys have mellowed with age… Year Of Explorers will still have the indie-disco young pretenders quaking in their Converse. |

| Reviews Summary |
| Jaw-droppingly ace music. - NME / Put simply, this is a f***ing brilliant follow-up to their eponymous debut. It might just be the best thing you hear all year. 5/5 - Reverb / The Magnificents have no murky lines - they're just really f***ing good. - The Skinny / Could yet be huge - Scotland On Sunday / Instantly, gratifyingly catchy - The List / A record well capable of taking them above ground - The Big Issue / This is intelligent rock with punk's rebellious spirit still throbbing at its heart - Is This Music? / The Magnificents should never be allowed to slip through the fingers of those who matter - Drowned In Sound |
