mp3 PREMIERE :: Magnetic Island > Subterfuge

Thursday, June 17th, 2010

We are very excited here at GIMME TINNITUS world headquarters as we premiere the first official (non-demo/non-cover) Magnetic Island track. On this track, Magnetic Island core members Lisa Liu and SMV are playing with Nikkie McLeod of Telenovela Star on percussion and TJ Richards of Calves a/k/a The Boy With The Ice Cream Face on guitar.

The song is entitled Subterfuge and finds Magnetic Island shying away from the (Helium-esque) noise rock side of things and into a dark indie pop region. They also added in some tape effects and steel pan (that’s right, steel pan) in there, provided by Richards and McLeod respectively. I can say with confidence that this is now my favorite song with steel pan in it. I hope it’s yours as well. Listen.

Downloadable: Subterfuge (mp3)

The song is dedicated to Magnetic Island friend Joe Graziano.

Check out the Magnetic Island q and also ahere.

You should also download the RENMINBI Surface EP @ CASH music.
