Informationen zum Artikel: This is the second full-length from San Francisco's Magic Trick. In the beginning it was just Tim Cohen alone in his San Francisco bedroom studio, swatting songs out of the ether during the spare hours between tours with his other project, weirdo-pop juggernauts, The Fresh & Onlys. "Ruler Of The Night" features members of The Fresh & Onlys and Aislers Set. Cohen recruited a handful of friends -- including James Kim (Kelley Stoltz's band), Alicia Vanden Heuvel (Aislers Set), and Noelle Cahill. Working on a first-thought-best-thought basis allows for a certain kind of freedom. Cohen forces a private world into existence through the sheer volume of his creative output. But it's a strangely comfortable place - where tuneful strands of '70s folk rock and familiar chords are embellished with dream-logic narratives that draw you in, even if their true meaning hovers just outside of easy comprehension.
