The first full-length from alternative indie pop duo, Magic Wands is a follow up to their debut EP, Magic Love & Dreams. Aloha Moon includes all 4 tracks from the EP, remixed and remastered, as well as 6 brand new tracks. CD and digital versions of the album features mixes by D. Sardy (Oasis, Wolfmother, LCD Soundsystem) for "Black Magic" and "Space," while the vinyl replaces "Space" with a mix by Sep V.

After several years of following Magic wands on myspace and youtube I am pleased to see that they have finally released a full length album which includes new material. Vinyl lovers will not be disappointed with the high quality pressing (180 grams) and gatefold packaging. The sound quality is excellent and there is very little surface noise. A vinyl picture disc EP is also included which has 4 tracks (same on both side). The sound quality of the picture disc is not nearly up to par with the black vinyl album but is still listenable. I would highly recommend this record to anyone who is fan of Magic Wands.

"Aloha Moon" is wonderful, dreamy, sexy and cool indie/electro/pop music with an edge. The vinyl sounds absolutely great, the gatefold album is beautifully made, and the picture disc is a very nice collector's item. I wish bands like Magic Wands got more attention: They are easily up there with more well known acts such as Handsome Furs or Washed out - but in my humble opinion, Magic Wands' songwriting is superior. Just listen to a few of the tracks (Aloha Moon, Black Magic and Kiss Me Dead are good starting points) and hear for yourself.
Only two things (and that is the only reason why I give "only" four stars) are a slight bummer: The download provided with the vinyl records does not include the remixes on the deluxe digital version (which is a shame, I would be interested in hearing them), and my favorite song (Black Magic), even though it sounds great, was digitally available at some point in an earlier version (not the very early version out on 7" vinyl, something in between), which I personally preferred to the album version. It's a record that spins regularly at my place, and will probably do this for a long time.
