Track Review: Magik Markers “Taste”

As all of my previous attempts at getting into Ecstatic Peace signed noiseniks Magic Markers have resulted in a furrowed brow and a punished ear, this mean little track from the upcoming
Boss was quite a revelation. When produced by obvious ally Lee Renaldo, the band’s sheets of white noise are shoved to the back of the mix, dancing around the committed kick drum. It’s Elisa Ambrogio’s track, however. She takes full advantage of the streamlined song structure, singing in a bluesy drawl that’s almost intimidatingly cool . In the lyric she deals with the common theme of us boys doin’ them girls wrong, but lines like “he shook her little bobby socks until the thrill was gone,” keep it continually sharp. It’s hard not to respect artists toiling on the edges with wild sound (and with a Thurston Moore run label that’s to be expected) but when sonic bandits come back from the brink to drop something approaching universal, they’re usually much easier to love.
