RIP Magic make a rock record without guitars on debut album 1,2,3, using live drums, bass, synths, vocals and samples to build something restless and unpredictable. Inspired by the oversized spectacle of America, the London quartet jump between hip-hop, dub and club music with sudden turns and brash transitions. ‘Stadium Drive’ pushes that approach furthest, channelling NASCAR, booming announcements and sporting spectacle into a huge, carnivalesque rush. Beneath all the chaos, 1,2,3 is playful, instinctive and built around the simple pleasure of making a glorious racket.
