Though their sound belies the multi-colored confetti connotations of the band’s name, Majical Cloudz’ vocals and lyrics create a beauty and hope that penetrates their layers of melancholy instrumentation. The Montreal-based indie-synthpop band lies on the opposite end of the spectrum of other current keyboard-oriented outfits like Passion Pit, Foster The People and others of that ilk. Rather than inspiring new wave dance parties as those bands do, Majical Cloudz…
We all lack time and this is something that has marked the modern era. People always seem to lack time even for some basic activities and it is no wonder why many of them neglect their physical form and avoid physical activity. This is the reason why we should all make good plans for our free time and especially for our holidays. Of course, we don’t have to go into…
