Description


The aptly-named, 'Closure,' is the 12th and final official album by cult London-based Anglo-French self-proclaimed "ghost rock" group, Piano Magic, marking their 20th year of existence.
'Closure,' includes a guest vocal appearance from Peter Milton Walsh, singer of acclaimed Australian chamber pop band, The Apartments on 'Attention To Life.' Audrey Riley, go-to cellist for the likes of Nick Cave, The Smiths, The Cure, The Go-Betweens, Muse, Coldplay (to name but a few) provides luscious string arrangements on many of the tracks here. For this final album, the prime nucleus of Piano Magic were Glen Johnson (guitars, voice, programming), Franck Alba (guitars), Jerome Tcherneyan (drums, percussion), Alasdair Steer (bass) and Paul Tornbohm. Josh Hight of Irons provides backing vocals on 'Closure' and 'Exile.' Oliver Cherer (aka Dollboy) provides brass on 'Attention To Life.' Often described as darkwave or coldwave, Piano Magic prefer the label, "ghost rock," an emotive combination of post-rock and haunting ethereal electronics a blend that has proved particularly popular on the Continent - the band have toured as far and wide as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Turkey, Poland, Ukraine, Portugal and Greece in recent years.
