metric and magic arm
so, in the last couple of weeks we’ve grabbed chats with Canadian wunderkinds Metric and Manchester based Magic Arm. Two very different artists, but both with a spangly future laid out in front of them, and both delivering great live performances for us.
First up Magic Arm filled me in on his laptop folktronica, he’s been described as a loop pedal troubadour, and when you check his live set in the show you’ll see what they mean. He’s got a new album, Make Lists Do Something and sits nicely alongside artists such as Adem or even Beck.
Then i swanned along to the Electric Ballroom in Camden and hooked up with Metric. great folk, whose runaway surprise hit, Help! I’m Alive has been setting blogs and radio alight for the past few months. They were charming, and delivered a wonderful outdoor acoustic rendition of a track from their new album, Fantasies.
