Piano Magic

Piano Magic is initially a variable geometry entity, formed under the leadership of British Glen Johnson, whose silhouette is shaped according to the aisles and arrivals of several musicians with scattered horizons. Between industrial pop and ethereal melancholy, several albums and EP's were released between 1996 and 1999, when the first "real" album of a constant band, Artists' Rifles, was released.
The band then signed on the label 4AD (Efterklang , Bon Iver , Future of The Left , TV on The Radio , Deerhunter , among others) and played for a long time on the Old Continent. In the early 2000s, Piano Magic brought together artists of various nationalities (France, Netherlands, England) and fed on various features, such as Vashti Bunyan's on Writers Without Home (2002) or Alan Sparhawk (Low) on the EP Saint Mary (2004). Playing a pop, melodic and minimalist indie, Piano Magic is named after The Troubled Sleep of Piano Magic (2003) and Disaffected (2005).
The collective's 10th album (on line-up now stabilized) was released in 2009. Ovations mainly sees the participation of Brendan Perry and Peter Ulrich , two former members of Dead Can Dance continuing its exploration of the 80s version Coldwave and Post-punk, initiated with the EP Dark Horses , released in 2008.
