What’s always made the music of Magical Mistakes such a treat has been the textural quality of it all. Erik Luebs, the mind behind the project, knows how to put together out of a song the listener can practically feel, his arrangements of traditional percussion, electronic dollops and, sometimes, nature recordings to create something that just sounded rich, practically manifesting itself into physical form in one’s living room. His new EP, Decompose/Reassemble, highlights everything that makes Magical Mistakes such a treat to listen to – with the added bonus of strings, majestic strings on the highlight of a finale “Three” – and you can hear it now, below or here. I want to write more about this (how many albums have I said that about this year…) but for now definitely listen.
