2007, Yep Roc/Simian
Indie-rock stalwarts The Apples In Stereo mark their first release in five years, as well as their fifth official full-length album, with New Magnetic Wonder. The first release on Yep Roc Records' joint venture with Elijah Woods' newly formed record label, Simian Records, New Magnetic Wonder was produced by Bryce Goggin (Pavement, Sebadoh, Sean Lennon) and is surely the most elaborate Apples production to date. Clocking in at 53 minutes, the album contains 14 songs, 12 additional "link tracks," and an Apples first -- the newly invented "Non-Pythagorian Music Scale" included in both digital sound files and an in-depth video description on the enhanced portion of this multimedia CD. New Magnetic Wonder includes such fist pumping anthems as "Can You Feel It," the 70's AM radio-esque "Same Old Drag," and the Mellotron majesty of "Energy." It's The Apples In Stereo doing what they do best -- it's a New Magnetic Wonder.

Customer Reviews

Joshua KumlerThe Apples in Stereo's "New Magnetic Wonder" is the first and so far only album to be released on Elijiah Wood's Simian Records. It almost seems that the ex-hobbit formed this label just to put out this record, which seems strange at first. But after hearing the album, I have to agree with Mr. Frodo: this album rocks. The only founding member of the Elephant 6 collective still actively making music keeps the legacy going with "New Magnetic Wonder", an album whose best moments recall great E6 masterworks like "Dusk at Cubist Castle." But the best thing about this album is that when you're listening to songs like "Can You Feel It?" or "Energy", you just feel happy. Which is the only reason you really need to buy it.
