((White Magic)) Band Profile and Upcoming Chicago Concerts - Oh My Rockness

White Magic are one of those spooky bands full on intrigue akin to The Black Heart Procession or the darkest days on Interpol's tour. It is clear that these Brooklyn indie-folksters rely on the strength of Mira Billotte's vocal chords to create their haunted-house soundtracks. It is Billotte's almost supernatural voice that carries White Magic's off-kilter rhythms and possessed melodies towards an ethereal state of eeriness.

No one combines folk, soul, blues and witchy psychedelia better... even if they are the only member of the club. You have no reason to expect different from a band that calls themselves White Magic. It's the perfect name for a band that often scares the hell out of me.
