Magik Markers – “Machine”

Got busy over the last couple of days, but that doesn’t mean that the return of Magik Markers was lost on me. The band announces a new EP for Drag City and it sees the trio back in fine form, picking up where they left off at the beginning of the last decade. Hammer-lock drums hold “Machine” fast to the pavement, but the rest of the track tries its hardest to lift this one off into the haze above. Elisa’s floating in a fog of echo and dodging the dust that the guitars kick up all over the track. The band was long known for their ability to lacerate a crowd with a cocked eyebrow and the ozone fizzing off the amp, but they’ve also had a knack for reigning the chaos in for the studio take, providing a pop launch pad for the the fury to come. “Machine” makes the case well that this should be on your radar and tucked neatly into any wantlist you’ve got scrawled, screenshot, or digitally cued in your life. The Markers are back. Make note.
