Description
The Dead Magnolia's long-awaited 2nd album, Southern Gothic, pushes the envelope on the alternative/"Southern Grunge" band's songwriting. "North Dakota", "Midnight at the Circle-K", "Syrian Woman", and "Regret" are standouts. Pro CD-R with color jacket!
Notes
The Dead Magnolias... a one-of-a-kind band from the south. After one listen, you will understand how they defy description. Are they hard rock? Alternative? Southern grunge? No, they just play "music for brilliant humans." Their songwriting by Andrew Hugg, a military officer who started writing their first material in the far away country of Qatar, is both dark yet tongue-in-cheek, almost like an American version of The Smiths. Their sound at times evokes early Alice In Chains, Nirvana, and sometimes the Pixies and Jayne's Addiction. In 2012, their long-awaited second album, Southern Gothic, pushes Hugg's songwriting even further. "Syrian Woman" was inspired by an Army friend who dated briefly a beautiful yet homicidally obsessed Muslim girl in Morocco, so he had to beak it off (but the song's protagonist suffers a worse fate). "North Dakota" sums up the harshness of the location of most of the album's recording of Minot, North Dakota over a sub-zero winter. In all, 9 standout tracks, from the slow, haunting "Regret", the fun poke at Kim Jong-Il with "Weekend in Pyongyang", to the understood uneasiness of spending a "Midnight at the Circle-K", the tracks will instantly turn you into a Dead Magnolias fanatic!
