Magic&Naked / Palinstar - Space Music Mercato

The dreamy, vaporous pop of Magic & Naked — somewhere between Tame Impala and Allah-Las — is as enigmatic as it is captivating.
Formed in Geneva in 2013, the band quickly found success, leading them to tour across Switzerland and Europe. While their influences from the ’60s and ’70s are undeniable, the members of Magic & Naked both embrace and transcend them, making their music a matter of heart and sincerity rather than homage.
After four years of hibernation, they return to the stage filled with love and armed with new songs shrouded in mystery. According to them, expect ethereal or abrasive guitars, undulating or playful rhythms, a floating sensation, and a soft, idealistic warmth. To know more, there's only one way: come see them live.

Opening the evening is Zurich-based Palinstar, here to present her new album Backtrain Places and her beautifully jet-lagged universe.
Playing with rhythmic breaks and switching between acoustic and saturated guitars, this multi-instrumentalist crafts her songs with freedom and boldness, using music as a means of exploring and sharing her emotions. Her sensual, slightly raspy voice fits perfectly over melodies that oscillate between striking simplicity and intriguing complexity. With remarkable inventiveness, Palinstar manages to blend the brooding rock of PJ Harvey with the comforting folk of Feist.
Not to be missed.
