In the winter of 2010, members of Bound Stems, the Narrator, Chin Up Chin Up, Vacations, and a whole host of other Chicago bands got together over two weekends at IV Labs and played it out.

A band that came together as a result of a recording-studio reunion, a name that came about from a self-deprecating joke, and an album, Piecemeal, that existed only with the help of many - it makes perfect sense.

And now! Well, we went to Phantom Manor and did it again. We're calling it Oh, Magic.

Listen to songs and pay what you should over at Bandcamp.   Read along with some lyrics, or most of 'em, anyway.

Give us the infernal thumbs up, shoot us the bird.

You know Brendan's on that press.
