Magnet's 'The Day We Left Town' sounds like the Avalanches had they grown up on an English council estate (whilst of course, being Norwegian) and been obsessed with 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Cracked, pre-war filmic strings entwine with gently snapping beats and sailing theremin over a lush acoustic ballad. It's utterly gorgeous and it makes DiS want to drift away on a languid opium cloud.
The remainder of the EP is a lot more stark, but still as intriguing as a squirrel in a vat of jam, notably the psuedo-Yorke beats of 'Dead Happy'. Be still, your beating heart; this is the real deal.
