about

Beautifully simple and borrowing from the well know traditional rhyme, Magpie is everything you need in a modern folk song. Recorded in the same session as Angela, Forty Elephant Gang build on their Americana, folk & blues roots. The songs lyrics hint at a undercurrent of mistrust while the backing builds effortlessly throughout. Subtle mandolin plays against the heavy floor Toms of the drums while the guitars weave magically between the vocal hook.
Magpie provides musical familiarity with a melody that will stay with you long after its 2.50 has flown by. This track is anything but black and white!
