Magic Christian Music

Badfinger

Shimmering vocal harmonies and warm analog melodies. A foundational power pop record that bridges the gap between late-era Beatles and 1970s radio rock.

Find on Amazon

It's the best Beatles album that the Beatles didn't actually record.

A sun-drenched collection of melodic rock that hides a gentle, persistent ache beneath its polished surface.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosion of multi-part harmonies on the chorus of Crimson Ship that feels like a sudden burst of sunlight
The delicate piano melody in Walk in the Rain that perfectly captures the rhythmic pitter-patter of a storm
The way the guitar jangle in Give It a Try locks into the drum groove with effortless 1960s swing
