New Illusion by Magnolia Boulevard
Magnolia Boulevard's debut EP NEW ILLUSION is a pure indicator of the young band's sound; stunningly fluid and versatile, yet never forced or unfamiliar. There’s plenty of blues, soul and rock ‘n’ roll in the mix, but also elements of funk, jam-band, folk, country, bluegrass, and psychedelia. It’s all fueled by the rhythm section’s elastic grooves, shot through with Gregg Erwin’s expressive and incisive slide guitar licks, and topped by Maggie Noelle’s soul-stirring, downright powerhouse vocals. Thus, NEW ILLUSION is the perfect sampler; an easily digestible listen that at once showcases Magnolia Boulevard’s present-day foundation, while hinting at a future full of promise and possibility.
