HEAVY ROTATION

Jessie Murphy in the Woods is simply cool.   We couldn't make up our minds on our favorite tracks.  They are memorable ("Tour de Force", "Pretty Machine"), fun ("God Save Owen Wilson") and sometimes whimsical ("Eight Belles") and it's one of those albums that will be in heavy rotation for awhile.  "Tour de Force" topped our February picks for 2010 with its sick drum beats, flute and crazy lyrics, "...catch me on the corner, catch me at the gym, catch me making out with the Doublemint twins."  Eight Belles is the band's debut and Jessie Murphy's vocals bear a likeness to Leslie Feist, which is a plus in our book.  Jessie Murphy's delivery is gentle and sometimes hauntingly beautiful.  All three members are hot New York City public school music teachers.  Catch them at The Knitting Factory on April 10.

Dexy and Chris met on mySpace.  Chris talked Dexy into moving into LA after months of long phone conversations and a seemingly high school kind of musical crush which led them to meet, and in 2007 after months of swapping poetry and songs, Magic Wands was formed.   The two will be touring with The Kills and The Horrors later this year in support of their upcoming EP recorded by Santogold producer John Hill.  The pair just completed a six month North American tour with Black Kids and the Virgins.
