Artist description magiCboY is a collection of happy-go-lucky reprobates whose mission in life is to make insanely happy music and mess with people's musical tastes. Failure to do so will result in instantaneous death for them. So the least you can do is wish these gleeful miscreants the best of Jewish luck. Stimmt.

Press Reviews Alt-Pop Review, 1-20-00 "Anna Kournikova Saves the World: WARNING - ABYSMAL QUALITY RECORDING, but oh so catchy song. This indie/lo-fi tune is a just a romp in the park with female chorus vocals that turn the young tennis player's name into a catchy jingle that will stick in your head, and listen for that toy-piano sounding keyboard. What are the lead vocals saying? I have no idea-they are too muffled. The Oxford, England octet is obviously the result of some odd influences, japanese animation and shonen knife among them. "Insanely happy" music--this band is quirky, offbeat and indie not by some overwrought masterplan, but because they personify the chaos theory of the universe." Mike McGuirk, Listen.com: "Charmingly unfinished Indie pop with cutesy vocals and a dash of wide-eyed psychedelia. If a Hallmark display unit of Precious Moments figurines came to life and started a band, they might sound like #magiCboY."
