Magik Markers  distinguished themselves in the early 2000s with unfettered noise jams and a merch table so teeming with CD-Rs, tapes, and LPs as to render the idea of a coherent discography faintly obsolete. The New England trio led by singer/guitarist Elisa Ambrogio has slowed down and tightened up considerably as of late. Their first album in seven years is their most finely honed, though it is still rumpled in all the right places. With creaking Crazy Horse guitar solos, basement-Sabbath sludge, and A Thousand Leaves-rustling mysticism, “2020” finds clarity in controlled chaos, an eye in the year’s hurricane.

 All of the complexities of a world’s collapse in a blissed out, horribly gentle, rugged, ragged rock n’ roll album. Rock back and forth as you hum these songs through a muddled shaken voice.

Here we are in 2020, exploding like a dream. Processing today’s numbed nation, considering mysteries of growing up and being older (like a memory of the future from your youth…Processing today’s numbed nation, considering mysteries of growing up and being older (like a memory of the future from your youth (not how you expected, but still your life)), Magik Markers rub upon their roots, art-noise jamming their way into non-linear song-sense and raw, beautiful music all at once. Magik Markers’ new album 2020, Magik Markers went quiet for a few years after releasing  Surrender to the Fantasy in 2013, but, after the surprise release of Isolated From Exterior Time: 2020 in July, they’re back for another round with the new 2020 on Drag City Records. Bassist John Shaw trades riffs with guitarist and vocalist Elisa Ambrogio on tracks like “CDROM,” “Born Dead,” and “Machine.” Meanwhile, “That Dream (Shitty Beach)” features vocals from drummer Pete Nolan. 

Track from Magik Markers digital EP “Isolated from Exterior Time: 2020”, released on July 3rd, 2020 by Drag City Records.

Elisa Ambrogio and the album– “The Immoralist”  Just because you’re in a no-wave band doesn’t mean you can’t break hearts. The Magik Markers frontwoman slayed all softies on her solo debut, with the opening one-two of “Superstitious” and “Reservoir” staring into sincerity and refusing to blink. Then she tamed her own wild guitars and put them in service of stark character portraits and frozen-moment vignettes that make friends of Kim Gordon and Neko Case. A new solo voice in the wilderness, speak-singing for the down-by-the-reservoir set. Gurl-group pleas and the rhyming of noise with boys are just part of the blur-eyed fun
