PRESS:

Some critics have labeled Chicago's Magnus as 'post-rock'. No such thing! If reference points are required, I would say the British rock scene of the early 80s - yeah, more like 'post-punk'! Heh. One caveat though, whilst one will certainly discern the influence of Echo & the Bunnymen, Teardrop Explodes, the Chameleons in tracks like "At the Edge of the Sea," "Pilot," "Go" to name but few, there is less emphasis on psychedelic guitar effects and pyrotechnics and perhaps more 'trad' indie-pop atonality in tracks like "Ivy" and "Feudalist." Either way, Portable Sun is a solid follow-up to the excellent Sleepwalker and is an essential release for fans of well-crafted eclectic pop-rock.
