Hailed by Iron & Wine's Samuel Beam as 'the master of the loop pedal', multi instrumentalist Marc Rigelsford, AKA the Manchester based Magic Arm, is set to release ‘Widths and Heights’ on Switchflicker Records in July. Splendidly eclectic, ‘Widths and Heights’ is a masterpiece of musicianship, with layers of sounds, bleeps and vocals all fighting for supremacy over each other, yet working side by side to produce a playfully organic gem, whilst at the same time serving the best interests of pop music.

Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, always the baton bearer for new music, championed Magic Arm’s last release, the ‘Outdoor Games’ EP, released last year - After the successful release of the EP, which received critical acclaim from the press, Marc locked himself away to write for four months, and then spent a further six months in the studio to put the finishing touches to ‘Widths and Heights’, and his debut album with Robin Housman.

“Magic Arm, aka Marc Rigelsford, is a man digging for diamonds at the folk/electronica coal-face”

The Guardian

“The most innovative and sparkling new musician in Manchester.”

“MAGIC ARM seem to reach for the sky without breaking a sweat on ‘Outdoor Games’ with warm, multilayered vocals and a disarmingly simple melody that continuously builds, adding more and more instrumentation before breaking down into a subtle resolution.” "

Gigwise Sept 2006

 

“MAGIC ARM’s folky leanings and slightly moody organ make for sunny, reflective listening.”
