Review

'Magpie' is a fascinating journey through Peach Pit's musical evolution. This 2024 release weaves together threads from their earlier works, creating a tapestry that's both familiar and refreshingly new. The increased use of acoustic guitar adds a warm, intimate dimension to their sound, though some might find themselves yearning for the electric riffs of yesteryear.

Neil's vocals have found a new harmony with the instrumentation, melding seamlessly into the fabric of each track. The title song 'Magpie' is a perfect example of this synthesis, embodying the band's ability to honor their roots while spreading their wings. While the album might not have the thematic cohesion of their previous offerings, it compensates with a diverse palette of sounds that showcase Peach Pit's versatility.

The reception has been as varied as the album itself, with fans divided on whether this new direction is a step forward or a departure from what made them fall in love with the band. Regardless, 'Magpie' has certainly got people talking and has many eagerly anticipating Peach Pit's upcoming tours. It's a testament to a band unafraid to explore new territories while keeping one foot firmly planted in the soil that nurtured their growth. - Margo
