Biography

Initially, Piano Magic was a loose collective of sorts, with an ever-changing line-up, originally inspired by studio-bound projects like [a=This Mortal Coil]. Glen Johnson conceived the project in 1996, with friends, Dick Rance and Dominic Chennell completing the primary core. During its early years, the project's home recordings featured contributions by friends, acquaintances, and moonlighters from other bands but by 1999, Piano Magic had become a fully-fledged international touring group. Over the course of numerous albums and singles, Piano Magic's music evolved from lo-fi electronic experimentation to post-rock, through electropop, and then again into a lush, melancholy chamber pop. Prior to its January 2017 release, Piano Magic announced that 'Closure' would be their final album. They played their last ever UK concert on Saturday 3rd December 2016 at The Lexington, Angel, London. The show commemorated their first ever concert, exactly to the day, 20 years prior.

LYRICS

I've a theory of ghosts and i'm a monster to girls
I stick in their heart like a rusty spur
But i've a theory of ghosts:
They're alive and we're all dead;
That they're trying to tell us is that it's this way around
And i've a theory of girls
They always seem to leave in the spring
As if they know that it hurts more
To carry a heartbreak through the summer

In the calender storm, i circled a day and tried to hold on
And in the last powercut,
I whispered her name 'til the lights came on
Smoked my indian pipe
Listened to the static, the snow on the wire
Smoked my indian pipe
Listened to the static, the snow on the wire

I have one photograph that captures her smile
But i don't have a tape of her laugh

Watercolors can't help me
