I’m pretty sure the only cure for quitting Rob Magill (as hearing addiction) is to listen to MORE Rob Magill. Like, I’ve been an addict now for WAY long on his works. Shoot, since Alex Gray popped Magill’s CS on Deep Tapes years ago. Not that THAT has anything to do with how MUCH of a fan I am, ‘cause when people are like, “Yeah, oh, I knew them back in the —— phase.” <_< …My boiii JasonC is really REALLY good at debunking that sorta brevity in the most humbling of ways, btw. But when I say I’ve been a fan of Magill for so long, I mean, I’m having trouble letting go. That is until Rob’s newest sibling albums Cope and Hope.
Cope and Hope both dive into the understanding of this addiction to music AND baits your in closer to the sounds. Lyrics like, “This song is over before YOU are” really stabilizes this mood of Cope, while titles of instrumentals like “Sometimes Somthing is Somewhere” and “Rock! The Rocky Mountain” are foundations for establishing Hope, both as albums and understandings. As well, Magill is so much so an outsider, that sometimes finding himself becomes part of the songs you hear, surpassing ideas such as experimental and improvisational. His practice in music is definitely a notebook full of how one progresses self and art.
