“Operating at the highest level, MAGNOLIUS have crafted a quick-witted hip-hop experience that reveals just how far the genre has progressed in recent years. Sharing more in common with ‘Bitches Brew’ (Miles Davis) than ‘Straight Outta Compton’, ‘Ode To Hyde’ proves that rap can be every bit as creative as jazz.
Evidence, then, that hip-hop has well and truly grown up.”
-RANT Magazine (UK)
"The chemistry between the duo, Shan Vincent de Paul & Derek DaCosta....well if you could bottle it, you could sell it back to N-Power and make some tidy wedge. It's angry and aware, yet sharp and has sense of humour"
- Whispers Mag (UK)
“Imagine the best kind of unusual, electronically modified sounds mixed with a range of genres, all laced together with electric, dynamic emceeing. Now imagine tracks about struggles with the inner-self, human exploitation, poverty, and the physical violence one may resort to.”
-Soundproof
“The spirit of classic hip-hop lives, shaped into a modern-spectacle, a fierce powerful performance.”
- Lonely Vagabond
Great review in Exclaim Magazine "This album opens with a bang when a momentary a cappella morphs into a breezy drum & bass track, complete with impressive double-time raps, although it's the catchy opera sample that makes "Tusk" standout as an album highlight. Drum & bass surfaces once again on "Ennui Go," this time with a hook provided by the awesomely named Perilelle, but Mary Musht is still mostly melancholy music, a mix of unusual sample choices merged with smooth hip-hop beats"

Yo MAGNOLIUSasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
