I haven’t heard much about Magnetic Morning, which is surprising considering the group’s pedigree. It’s principal members are Sam Fogarino (drummer for Interpol) and Adam Franklin (singer/guitarist of Swervedriver). Jimmy LaValle of the Album Leaf and Josh Stoddard of the Still Out round out the group (at least for recording purposes … not sure what the live show entails).
If the band is something of a secret, it’s doing a good job at keeping a low-ish profile. MM’s MySpace page doesn’t even list tonight’s show at Rhythm Room. (Get tickets.)
The band’s full-length debut, A.M., was released digitally on Oct. 21 and is due for a physical release on Jan. 27 via Friend or Faux Recordings. I’ve only been able to give it one spin so far, but if I were to say something poetic about it, I’d tell you about the album’s vast sonic landscapes. Its openness defies so much of the claustrophobia that strangles indie rock.
