After The Magic

A sprawling patchwork of the artists dreams and fears, Parannoul's third album After the Magic explores the enigmatic solo artists life in the wake of his second albums overnight success. Expanding on the shoegaze-shaded emo that made Parannoul's To See the Next Part of the Dream so beloved by lo-fi and indie rock fans alike, After the Magic sees the anonymous auteur striving to write a follow-up as worthy of acclaim as the last. Across the albums ten songs, Parannoul plunges yet deeper into his diverse pool of influences, coming back to the surface with a record that captures and extends the magic of it's predecessor. Unexpected flashes of orchestral ambient and glitched-out electronica meld seamlessly with Parannoul's signature passages of noisy, distortion-laden shoegaze, offering a real time glimpse into the maturation of one of indie rocks most exciting artists. In the artists own words, "This album is not what you expected, but what I always wanted."
