The long-awaited sixth full-length album from Norwegian Prog Rockers MAGIC PIE is on its way. Titled "Maestro", it is set to be released on Karisma Records on the 16th of May on CD, LP and Digital formats.
As for the three previous Pie albums with Eirikur on vocals, Kim has composed the music for “Maestro”, and Eirikur have done the lyrics and the melodies on top of it. But Kim has his saying on the melodies and sometimes he has some parts already written out. Eirikur explains: To me, the essence of our co-work lies in the fact that he knows his Prog while my main influence is heavy metal, along with some flirting with "The Beatles" and "maestro" David Bowie. This creates something unique (I hope) and gives us a special approach within the prog-rock industry. I have even managed to squeeze in a Beatles title in one of our songs, - look for it!
The new single from the album is released today (03.04) and it’s for the track “Someone Else’s Wannabe”. The band has this to say about it:
Our new single “Someone Else’s Wannabe” has all the high-lighted Magic Pie elements you can ask for. Fast finger-skills, complex vocal-arrangements, along with a little touch of sweet romance. Who could ask for more? Enjoy…
The band has a special welcome this time to the new drummer Martin Utby who has given them new energy with his energetic playing. Mixed by Jacob Holm-Lupo and mastered by Rich Mouser, who tragically lost his home and studio in the fierce fires in the Los Angeles area some few weeks back. The master of the new album delivered from Rich just 2-3 days before the fire. Our thoughts are with you Rich!
