New 4 or 5 Magicians video – Nice Little Earner
It’s been a while since we heard anything from 4 or 5 Magicians, but finally, over three years after they were first featured on this blog, they have completed their debut album, which will be out next month. No album is complete without a single just before and an appropriately wacky video, so here’s the video for Nice Little Earner.
I wasn’t entirely sold on the song as the choice for a single (I’d have run with Behind Each Others Backs personally), but it’s growing on me with each listen. The video is helping that a lot though. A stupidly fun romp clearly made on the cheap and damn proud of the fact, we get a chase around the sights of Brighton from the indie venues down to the iconic pier. The whole thing has a delightful air of the 90s about it, which works perfectly as the band do too.
The album should be one of the highlights of the year, and serves as something of a “best of” package for those that have followed the band over the past few years. Your Fictitious Character, I’m In The Band, Change the Record and the legendary Forever on the Edge all make the cut. A bunch of new songs round out the package from the band that have taken so long to get here, but have the potential to go so far.
The debut album from 4 or 5 Magicians, entitled Empty, Derivative Pop Songs will finally be released on October 26 via Smalltown America. Nice Little Earner will be released as a download single on October 12, and will apparently be free from “selected outlets”.
