Magic Kids: "Superball"

2:00 p.m. · August 4, 2010 · by Chris Bosman

The song title "Superball" sounds like an idea a hyperactive seven-year old would come up with after downing a six pack of Mountain Dew. "It'd totally be, like, this ball that was super." It's appropriate then, that the song the Magic Kids have come up with to accompany that title is similarly energetic and sugary sweet. Strings and horns swoop in to carry the confectionery, Elvis Costello-style melodies and occasional bright synths help compliment the vocal coos. In addition to their upcoming album Memphis, the group also announced some new tour dates with Bosco Delray. Peep their full tour schedule below, and grab "Superball" here. [Matablog]
