Magical Beasts
Peninsula
Review by Gary Hill
These guys are definitely tied to the modern roots music trend. That means they land somewhere in the neighborhood occupied by things like folk, bluegrass and more. Yet there is a creative, artsy sort of vibe here, too. Sure, the basis is stripped back and purely down-to-Earth sounds, but they seem to strive to use those elements to create something that rises into the territory of high art. This is quite a cool set, as is the EP that I've also reviewed in this issue of Music Street Journal.
This review is available in book (paperback and hardcover) form in Music Street Journal: 2018 Volume 3. More information and purchase links can be found at: garyhillauthor.com/Music-Street-Journal-2018.
