Don’t be confused. This is not the Californian rock band Magic Lantern, the British 60s band Magic Lanterns, or even the five-piece outfit with almost the same title led by Jamie Doe, who recorded A World in a Grain of Sand three years ago. Doe has now decided to record an album entirely on his own, but using the band’s name. He’s a singer-songwriter who is notable both for the quality of his thoughtful, gently compelling vocals and his instrumental work, has an easy, soulful style, and the ability to switch to a relaxed falsetto or throw in an unexpected unaccompanied song such as the the personal and self-critical 28 Years Old. He plays excellent finger-style guitar with occasional jazz influences, and provides sturdy piano work on the pained and thoughtful Air at the Top. A man to watch, whatever he calls himself.
