Magik Markers

About Magik Markers

Spanning noisy improvisational rock, folky meditations, and more, Magik Markers make the most of their stream-of-consciousness approach. When they emerged from a Connecticut basement in the early 2000s, their prolific self-released recordings barely contained the freewheeling energy of Elisa Ambrogio's vocals and guitar and Pete Nolan's drumming. Though they tempered their attack somewhat on 2005's official debut album, I Trust My Guitar, Etc., it wasn't until 2007's Boss that the band honed their music into clearly defined songs. Paradoxically, giving their work more structure allowed them to explore more sounds, and on albums such as 2013's Surrender to the Fantasy and 2020's 2020, Magik Markers folded aching ballads, brash guitar pop, and droning experiments into their music with the same intuitive confidence of their earliest work.
