It’s said that more new music is released daily currently than in all of 1989, so if you can attract a few hundred listeners, you’re doing a pretty good job (at least acts in the genres we prefer). Magnatech aka Johannes Bernardus Verhoef puts it proudly on the cover of his 7th record: 312 Magnatech Fans Can’t Be Wrong—a self-deprecating nod to Elvis Presley‘s 50,000,000.

Regular visitors to our site know what to expect: instrumental two-minute songs at the convergence of surf pop, exotica and Indo rock. The Bocholt, Germany-based master has done his best to make the 18 new tracks sound like they were produced in 1962, but as always, it’s the original melodies that truly captivate. Yes, I’m one of those 312. Are you?

312 Magnatech Fans Can’t Be Wrong is out digitally via Constituent Recordings.
