It&#8217;s the type of song that doesn&#8217;t immediately stick but the more you listen to it, the more you&#8217;ll start appreciating the song.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position: relative; display: block; width: 400px; height: 100px;\" src=\"http:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/v=2\/album=3547229915\/size=venti\/bgcol=FFFFFF\/linkcol=4285BB\/\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"400\" height=\"100\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Most of the tracks on here have a do-it-yourself feel, as if the band just hauled their instruments in the basement, turned on the record player and started playing. You&#8217;ll hear more of this vibe as you listen to cuts like, <em>Work For Us<\/em> and <em>This City<\/em>. Meanwhile the\u00a0final track, <em>Hard To Imagine<\/em>, is an <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Eisley\" target=\"_blank\">Eisley<\/a>-esque track with a darker tone. It starts quiet\u00a0but swells to an indie rock affair towards the end.<\/p>\n<p>Magic City is made up of\u00a0Lauren Whitacre,\u00a0Colin Croom, Bubby Salveson and Claude Abbott.
