The Rhythm & Trouble In Mind. 2024 found the lineup expanded even further to incorporate the horn section of Geoff Saba & Jeanne Oss on tenor & alto saxophones as well as percussion & marimba with the group's sophomore effort, the dizzyingly ecstatic ”Pass The Loofah” (Trouble In Mind). They've been blessed to share stages with heroes like ESG, Deerhoof, Jack White, and Egyptian Lover as well as countless local favorites like Fake Fruit, Brontez Purnell, Juicebumps, and Mayya. The band freely incorporates elements of the dancier side of post-punk (think A Certain Ratio, or Liquid Liquid) as well as disco, funk, & house music. However, the group’s uplifting melodicism belies a deeper subtext, understanding the importance of the sense of community of dance music & the culture surrounding it and leaning into a Neo-socialist lyrical context. Magic Fig: Bursting forth in a bouquet of dreamlike hooks, choral vocals and Moog pitch-bends, Magic Fig’s debut proves that the technicolor heart of San Francisco’s psychedelic lineage is still beating and as vivid as ever. Featuring alumni from the Bay Area’s best and brightest pop, psychedelic and garage bands (The Umbrellas, Whitney’s Playland, Almond Joy and Healing Potpourri among them) Magic Fig’s debut is full of sonic fireworks, top-shelf musicianship, hooks abound and a distinctive melding of prog rock and pop joy reminiscent of the 60s/70s Canterbury greats.
