{"product_id":"magick-knives","title":"Magick Knives","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMagick Knives emerged, as if summoned, from the spectral sands of the Sonoran Desert. More than a band, they are conjurors of sound casting cinematic spells woven from desert dust, post-punk pulse, and gothic devotion. Their debut self-titled album, from Library of the Occult Records, offers 10 mesmerizing tracks that flicker like séance candles: hypnotic, pulsing, filled with some sort of unspeakable intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFormed by vocalist\/bassist Sonia Campbell with visual artist and guitarist\/synth wizard Daniel Martin Diaz (Trees Speak), the project began with a chance encounter and a shared instinct to make something special. Joined by lead guitarist Daniel Singleton and drummer Daniel Thomas, the quartet quickly found its alchemy. Each track is a collective creation, with all four members contributing to the music while Campbell undertakes the lyrical rites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAt once brooding and transportive, their sound draws from a haunted lineage: Bauhaus, Sisters of Mercy, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Dead Can Dance. Guitars bleed in waves of reverb, synths drone, and rhythms pound. Above it all, Campbell’s vocals beckon like that of a dark siren.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTheir debut album, mixed by TJ Allen (Bat For Lashes, Portishead) and mastered by Grammy-winner Shawn Joseph (J Dilla, Phantogram), offers songs that are fog-like in texture, fire-lit in tone, and bound by an exquisite tension. Lyrically, the band explores themes of memory, myth, grief, and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eMagick Knives’ presence evokes the arcane, with a visual presentation that complements their sonic identity. Their imagery often features dark, mystical elements, aligning with their gothic musical themes. This cohesive aesthetic enhances the band's storytelling, inviting listeners into a world where music and visuals intertwine seamlessly. Performances are designed less as concerts and more as atmospheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eTheir music is for those who dance in the liminal, and for anyone who understands that sharpness is a kind of beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of the Occult","offers":[{"title":"LP - Purple \/ Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":56038194446667,"sku":"R7927-4336","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Silver","offer_id":56676644651339,"sku":"R7927-2680","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/withobihi-res.jpg?v=1764808836","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/magick-knives","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
