MAGIK MARKERS / SIC ALPS; Magik Markers / Sic Alps

Split 12″ EP (2009), Used

I’ve never been anything but an unabashed Magik Markers fan, even throughout their more “melodic” period while recording for Drag City.  This EP was released for their 2008 US West Coast tour with Sic Alps.  Sic Alps side of this recording, as you would expect  moves in fits and starts, is incredibly noisy and occasionally off-putting, but nonetheless is quite the thrill ride. On the Markers side of the split, things mellow out some, but that’s not a bad thing. If you’re a fan of both bands, and you don’t have this yet, you might think of treating yourself to it.
