Magnetic Heads - You Will Tear Down Everything That Stands in Your Way


It’s not often that an Australian band captures the influences of music close to home and that from distant lands. The debut EP from NSW based five-tet Magnetic Heads evokes memories of bygone eras yet still seems immediately recognisable. Sounding reminiscent of both The Church and Echo & the Bunnymen, the magnetic heads sun bleached 12-string guitar pop couples perfectly with their extremely literate lyrics. These four tracks bring back memories of swimming in suburban pools on a Saturday, getting scorched by the harsh Australian sun, not having a care in the world.
