About this album

Magic, Murder And The Weather is a sharp, restless late-period Magazine album that refines the band’s tense wit and angular energy. Released in 1981, it found Howard Devoto’s group blending new wave immediacy with art-rock intelligence, while keeping the guitars jagged, the rhythms unsettled and the lyrics slyly observant. Songs such as About the Weather and So Lucky show the band turning urban anxiety and dark humour into something taut and memorable. Arriving after Magazine had already helped define Britain’s post-punk landscape, the album stands as a concise statement from one of the era’s most distinctive and influential groups.
