The throwback bliss of Magic Kids’ recent “Summer” was just a hint of what to expect from their debut. Released this week, Memphis is packed to the brim with similarly joyful, pure-pop delights which, like the above “Superball”, don’t so much pay homage to their melodically-rich, orchestral-pop heroes (Brian Wilson, Herman’s Hermits, Van Dyke Parks, etc) as soak that old-time sound in modern indie-pop songs. 11 songs in under a half hour, each packed with hooks, lush harmonies, and echoes of oldies radio that’ll bring your summer to a close with a bang.
