B3SCI Premiere: Magic Bronson – What a Week

“What a Week” is the breezy new track from the L.A.-based duo of Michael Nicastro and Matthew Lieberman a/k/a Magic Bronson. The follow-up to the twosome’s self-titled EP from earlier this year which garnered praise from KCRW and Buzzbands.la, “What a Week” knocked us out initially for its refreshing and unpredictable sound (it feels refreshing even typing the phrase, “refreshing and unpredictable sound”!). Built on a vaguely house-y rhythm and synth template and backed by pan-genre multi-regional splashes of influence and sound (that cuica-sounding hook thing in the chorus is particularly cool), “What a Week” finds Magic Bronson continuing to push things forward sonically while keeping it all very listenable in the process.
