World's Fair - We Can't Be Magic 12"

(Rok Lok Records)

World’s Fair needs no introduction if you’re a follower of legendary Rok Lok Records, but if you’re just discovering them, the group is stationed in Long Island, NY. We Can’t Be Magic is their sophomore album and boy, is it a refreshing release for the entire DIY/indie genre. The album has a certain uplifting energy to it that makes you want to go along for the ride. That ride includes a melting pot of influences from various genres. To these ears, I hear a little bit of shoegaze, noise rock, some good ol’ fashion 90’s indie, etc. You just have to listen for yourself. Because of that, I think this album is brilliant because it’s not pigeonholing itself into one sound or genre/sub-genre. Go support this band and beg them for that 3^rdalbum because you know it’s going to be great!
