Majic Dust is the irrepressible lovechild of the murmurs, screams, noise and harmony of the music that shaped guitarist and vocalist Rob Hampton’s early years. Along with drummer Jonathan Carman and bassist JR Spencer, the band was born in a sweat lodge garage on Johns Island, South Carolina that held the ghosts of many past rock n roll ensembles. Those revenants can be felt in every second of the new Majic Dust self-titled album. The album opener, “Secrets”, immediately sweeps into propulsive drums and a hypnotic bassline, then moves into a dimension that liquefies rock tropes into a bubble of fuzzy psychedelia. Visions of witches and existential dread compliment the expansive reverberations of the first single “Disappear” while the lamentations of “Midnight” open new doors of perception. The defiant clarion calls of ”Hands Up”  and “Abandon All Hope” along with the closing slow burner “Rodan Vs. Crain” harken back to Hampton's musical upbringing and serve as next level detours in the kaleidoscopic trip. The influences that emerge sometimes surprise even Hampton, “I am always amazed how people say we remind them of so many different bands that I never would have guessed, but that I could afterwards see have influenced me.” Regardless of influences, Majic Dust has a direct line to the past and a clear path forward.
