River of Souls is the third enchantment from the hat of Tim Cohen (The Fresh and Onlys) and his band, Magic Trick. Picking up from where he left us with Ruler of the Night (Hardly Art), Cohen brings us ten new intimate tracks, polished as yet unseen. Recorded in The Tree House, his attic studio, River of Souls whirls with parables of change amidst emotional flotsam and jetsam. Insecurities, sarcasm, escapism, optimism, vanity, honesty, and bona fide love... it is all there, but in comforting form. Tim's well-skewed pop songs remind us that things can always be better, but also that what we have is pretty amazing. 

River of Souls signals a new approach for Magic Trick. As in The Fresh and Onlys, Tim has begun to distinguish his muses from those of the foggy San Francisco lo-fi movement that he helped to shape. Mixed at Lucky Cat Studios with Phil Manley and mastered by Paul Oldham, this album exudes presence and confidence. Now, more than ever, the vocals break through the clouds, and the mix champions the artistry in each player's performance. Tim's baritone spars with angelic female chants (Noelle Cahill and Alicia Vanden Heuvel) over the crisp unmistakable pulse of James Kim's drums, and the melodic drive of Alicia's bass throughout. San Francisco's gifted guitar workhorse, Tom Heyman, channels Mark Knopfler; one-man metal mystery, Steve Peacock, brings the right kind of shred; and Marc Cappelle's horns retort the melodies, as Tim jettisons his woes upriver. It is clear with each downbeat the band has honed its language and perfected its chemistry. 

Change permeates this record, but Tim Cohen diehards need not fear. The songs on this album are classic Tim Cohen jams through and through. Still present are the first-thought-best-thought off-the-cuff style and the genre-spanning I-can't-quite-pinpoint-who-this-reminds-me-of assimilation of influences. Still here are the heartbreaking nonsense and the litany of brilliant guest appearances. River of Souls begins with an invitation to "Come Inside". The songs stick with you from that point forward, and what's more... the record ends before you are ready to leave the party. Altogether, this album makes it clear that there is not a man more worthy of thee Muses than Tim Cohen. 

Keeping with tradition, the LP version is presented in a classic tip-on sleeve featuring artwork by Kevin Earl Taylor. The first 500 copies come in half-red and half-blue vinyl. 

Magic Trick - Come Inside

New sketch I'm working on, it's been a while so I thought I'd share :) 

Thanks so much for listening everyone! 

If You're Listening
Hey you up there are you listening?
Because I feel so all alone
And I mingle with the people
But it doesn't feel like home.
I greet them with an open heart
And the smile will reach my eyes
But somehow this soul is set apart
Wearing courage her disguise

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the sunrise
In the dancing of the leaves
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

I float on with the river
And as I crash upon the stones
The cleansing flow it brings new hope
And it's seeping through my bones.
Spirit guides, please guide me
I've surely lost my way
I don't know if I should fight or hide
Paralyzed by fear or faith.

Love, love, love
Oh it's just beyond my reach
But I feel it in the rainfall
And I hear it on the breeze
Love, love, love
Oh I've seen it in my dreams
So hey you up there if you're listening
Show me you can hear my plea.

Here I stand with my arms open wide
I raise my voice up to the night
And the lady moon she shines so bright
And I swear she whispers..... "It's alright"
Love, love, love
Always just beyond my reach
I feel it in the starlight
In the ground beneath my feet
Love, love, love
Here I'm down on bended knee
So hey you up there, if you're listening
Will you save some love for me
Hey you up there if you're listening
Will you save some love 
For me?

Calling
Over the hills and far away
Or possibly closer than they say
With the flowering trees and a sky of gold
Where no one ever grows cold
Over the hills and far away
Beyond a world of fire and faith
You watch me with those love lit eyes
And you bear my pain when I cry
Do you hear me calling?
Do you hear me calling?
I think you do.

Over the hills and in my dreams
There's a river that runs a deep blue green
It's the greenest blue you've ever seen
And its waters warm with healing
Over the hills and in my heart
Close as can be, yet oh so far
I feel you've loved me all my life
In the dark you hold a candle high
To guide me home
To guide me home
To guide me home

Let them judge and call me crazy
Let them try to prove me wrong
But this little light inside me
Burns on

Over the hills and far away
Or possibly closer than they say
You watch me with those love lit eyes
And you bear my pain when I cry
Do you hear me calling?
Do you hear me calling?
I think you hear me calling.....

I think you do.

Calling

From Larkin Poe's first full-length album, "KIN"

Larkin Poe - Crown Of Fire

Lyrics....

I know this comes, at a price
And I'll pay my dues, I wont think twice,
Because I hear secrets in he sound,
Whispers winding ways I am bound

And its worth it darlin', cause it makes me feel like I'm
running the river and turning the wheel
And I know this, I know this is real
I know this I know this is, For real

Breadcrumbs on my trail
They lead the way, but often they fail
And it hurts my sweet loving man
And he knows all that I am.

And its worth it darlin', cause it makes me feel like I'm
running the river and turning the wheel
And I know this, I know this is real
I know this I know this is, For real



For Real

Solace

During a boxing match in Las Vegas Gabriel Ruelas killed Jimmy Garcia. At a press conference a week before the fight Ruelas had, "Promised to make someone pay." Later that same day he had a premonition that something would go terribly wrong during the fight.

After Garcia's death Ruelas swore that each time he stepped into the ring he saw the ghost of Jimmy Garcia staring back at him.

Findlay Napier is one of the most highly-regarded performers and creative forces on the Scottish music scene – thoroughly active and truly energised with a heart-warming zing.

He made his name touring and recording with multi- award winning traditional Scottish folk band Back of

In his more recent projects “Queen Anne’s Revenge” and “The Bar Room Mountaineers” his song- writing took centre stage and was described by The Sunday Herald as “Genuine songcraft and wit following in the Difford & Tilbrook tradition”. Findlay is also well known for hosting Glasgow’s premier open mic night at Bar Bloc, as the host of Celtic Connections’ Late Night Sessions and for his Hazy Recollections concert series which showcases the very best in new roots music.
