With old friend and new member, Miles Martin, on bass, Magna begins a new chapter with their latest EP. The soaring opener, "Sleeping Giant", the gut-twisting "Guts", and the triumphant closer, "Shield Jaguar II", form a collection that aims to synchronize listeners and band into one. The rhythm section calls upon the old gods to support fiery guitar signals, amplified through warm vacuum tubes, pushed nearly to their upper limits. The group reaches back to the primitive and gently pulls it into the future. The metropolis and the wilderness live in harmony.
