LISTEN TO MAGIK MARKERS' NEW RECORD AND WATCH A VIDEO FOR "MIRRORLESS"
SURRENDER TO THE FANTASY OUT 11/19 ON DRAG CITY
Hoo boy, it's Magik day. Not only does it mark(er) a week from the release of Magik Markers first record in FOUR YEARS, but we've got some tasty tidbits to share (and for you to tell your friends about, and they tell two friends, and they tell two friends, and so on, and so on). First of all, SPIN Magazine has named Surrender To The Fantasy their "Album of the Week," which means, for a limited time, you can head over there and stream the whole thing from stimulating start to fulfilling finish, and even read what the band had to say about each and every song. STTF hits the record shops on 11/19 via Drag City.

Also, if you head over to Rookie Mag, you'll see an interview with Elisa Ambrogio on why ugly sounds can be beautiful, too. Oh yes, and Rookie premiered the video for album track "Mirrorless," as well, how bout that?!

Also, for (possibly not) the first time ever, the Markers are going to offer their new album as a unique object likely to be obsolete in the near future yet completely innovative for today - a genuine imitation SOLID-GOLD USB flash-drive loaded with Surrender To The Fantasy stuff! What's on the USB, you ask? You get the album, as it's intended! Videos, as they're intended! Complete lyrics, otherwise unavailable in written (and audio) form! Screen-savers of Fantasy-tastic images! Print-and-cut versions of the cutout characters from the "Mirrorless" video! Plus, the most exciting of all, extended and alternate mixes of three (3)Surrender To The Fantasy favorites! And much much more!

PRAISE FOR "BONFIRE"
"Floor stomping and droll incantation turn into a shout-along, all fuzz and fury underneath. Ambrogio can really sing, but here she lets the power of her voice match the rest of the band, bottling up a decade of freeform CD-Rs, noisy tapes, and manic live shows into a two-minute song that's just about to explode into something more." - Pitchfork
"Dissonant as hell with an almost candy coated catchiness, this is classic Magik Markers." -Stereogum
"'Bonfire' is the album's first single and finds guitarist Elisa Ambrogio, drummer Pete Nolan and new bassist John Shaw at their most explosive." - NPR Music
