Here’s album number five from Israeli and long time Parisian singer-songwriter Magon, his second this year. How does he do that? I think we can hear the answer in the poetic lyrics of the ten new songs on Enter By The Narrow Gate. “Listen to what I’m gonna do // You’ll give me one, I’ll give you two” (from One Step At A Time). “The things that you seek // They are now in the past” (Under The Trees). And: “Give me A, I’m alive // Give me B to be me” (from the title track). I guess we can also consider Another Song, Another Day as another day, another song. That’s not a bad thing at all, because you can never have enough of these relaxed vibes. Magon (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, bass, percussions), along with Ferdinand de Fournoux (drums and percussions), infuse their indie-pop foundation with influences from alternative rock, surf, psych and country. As I listen with my eyes closed, it’s summer vacation again.
Enter By The Narrow Gate is out now digitally via December Square. Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
