簡介。。。。。。
White Magic's original lineup was comprised of Mira Billotte on vocals and piano, drummer/bassist Miggy Littleton, and guitarist/drummer Andy Mcleod. Billotte played drums and sang in Quix*o*tic with her sister Christina (of Slant 6 fame); Littleton once played in Ida; and McLeod also played in California Speedway. For a couple of years, the band played in New York. They soon appeared on a United Bamboo compilation. Drag City signed them in 2003, and in 2004, they released the band's Through The Sun Door EP to general critical praise. They toured the U.S. opening for like-minded folk musicians Will Oldham and Brightblack Morning Light in 2004 (when the latter band was still known as Brightblack).

In 2005, the group appeared on a free split EP, sponsored by Tylenol; it featured three songs each by White Magic and indie rock band The American Analog Set. Throughout 2005, Billotte performed as White Magic accompanied by guitarist Sleepy Doug Shaw. White Magic's current lineup's core consists of these two musicians, aided by an array of friends/musicians of similar musical aesthetics.

On November 14, 2006, debut album Dat Rosa Mel Apibus was released on Drag City Records.Billotte's alto has earned her comparisons to Grace Slick, Karen Dalton, Beth Orton, Dawn McCarthy (of Faun Fables), and Nico.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:6.5/10
簡單的鋼琴敲擊,配上吉他旁敲側擊和重重的鼓點,女主唱兼鋼琴手的Mira Billotte的聲音倒是有幾分張力,曲風有幾分復古。但是個人對這張專輯實在是沒有什麽興趣,因為我覺得它有些單調,以至於聼了很多次都沒有將這張專輯完整地停下來過。今天終于耐下心來,仔細聼一聼,這張專輯是一張耐聼的專輯,也許需要反復地聼才能找到些感覺。
去豆瓣上看看。。。。。。
