Comprised of Devon Welsh and Matthew Otto, Majical Cloudz have been receiving praise for their intense, vocally driven songs and their intimate, powerful live show. New single “Bugs Don’t Buzz” garnered a Best New Track from Pitchfork, who write how it’s, “defined by its directness–that Devon Welsh is singing to you, or, if you present this song to a loved one, it’s you singing to them. It’s indeed a love song that feels like a confession of a devotion that one wouldn’t feel comfortable sharing with more than one person.”

In a recent interview with the duo, Stereogum write, “it’s hard to imagine that anyone will release an album this year as lovely – or as harrowingly intimate – as Majical Cloudz’s soon-to-be-released debut, Impersonator.” SPIN compare the pair as a cross between James Blake and Antony Hegarty, calling “Bugs Don’t Buzz” “incredibly intense.”
