Sounds Like
Contemplation, fun, laziness, affection, intensity. It is such as discovering something beautiful and/or vital in things that move you. It is trying to suck the marrow of life, whatever it may be. To colour feelings, sometimes colour, sometimes only black and white. Power indie pop! Easy poetry. Simple songs. Foolish Sincerity. Fake (?) existentialism. Disguised melancholy. Infantile joy. Pleasure. Warm torpor.
Contemplação, diversão, preguiça, apego, intensidade. É aquilo de descobrir algo bonito e/ou vital em coisas que te emocionam. Tentar sugar a essência da vida, seja ela qual for. Colorir sentimentos, às vezes com muitas cores, às vezes só preto e branco. Power indie pop! Easy poetry. Simples canções simples. Sinceridade tola. Existencialismo fake (?). Melancolia disfarçada. Alegria infantil. Prazer. Torpor quente.
They then released a 5 track cdr-ep under the name “Whatever You Say Is A Lie (So Fucking Romantic)”, followed by many more gigs, a video-clip for Air Guitar Man, interviews, reviews and participation on CD/cassete compilations by foreign labels (from Italy, England and Japan).
By this point the members were highly envolved with other projects (both in music as in life), and as a result the band split up (but never formally), in 2004.
Cesar went to live in Italy in 2004 and lived there until 2008, when he moved to the UK; he has an individual musical project called Walden/Zanin, and has now formed the group Barins in Brighton and Hove. Fabio plays the drums in several bands like Gasolines and Transistors. Paulo plays the guitar in P.O.S.T.. Megssa sings and plays in The Luos and lives in Scotland. Gilberto writes a fanzine called Esquizofrenia. Ricardo runs a studio and plays in Os Espectros. Marco lives in Canada.
Magic Crayon was invited to do a show in the USA in the summer of 2009, so Cesar Zanin reformed the group.
Zanin’s Magic Crayon is the electronica/indiepop-oriented one man project formed in Brighton and Hove, UK, in order to present Magic Crayon’s songs in a different format for the USA tour. Cesar (Walden/Zanin) will be singing and playing instruments as ukulele, electric guitar and keyboard/programming (computer). Larry Barin, Cesar’s son (real name Lauro Zanin), will join in for the American tour.
