The Magic Gang - Only Waiting

This morning, The Magic Gang released their second EP, cleverly titled ‘The Second EP From’. Fronted by recent single ‘All This Way’, “another slice of gold”, the EP’s first track ‘Only Waiting’ also hits the jackpot, a hazy lovelorn tale.

The new release, and ‘Only Waiting’ in particular, shows The Magic Gang to have strength in depth, something they’ve barely had to exhibit so far. The goods they keep producing are proving the Brighton band to be anything but a flash in the pan.

For a band with five or more standout singles before there’s even a sniff of a debut LP in the air, The Magic Gang could be forgiven for becoming complacent for their album tracks, but ‘Only Waiting’ shows the band as equally competent in writing slow-burning growers as they are instant sugar rushes of hit singles.
