Magic Trick is the '60s psychedelia and '70s folk-influenced band led by the Fresh & Onlys' frontman, Tim Cohen. The group began in San Francisco as Cohen's solo outlet between Fresh & Onlys tour dates, which yielded three albums between 2009 and 2011. The first official Magic Trick release, The Glad Birth of Love, arrived on the Empty Cellar label in 2011. The LP offered four long-form compositions infused with Cohen's vivid lyrical imagery and sounds ranging from acoustic blues to dense ragas to lush harmonies. It previewed the trippy, expansive sound of several records to follow. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
