Magua - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings (Father John Misty Cover) Live at Studio Bleu Paris
Magua delivers a whole new vibe on an original classic, taking a song built on eerie cemetery imagery, dark Hollywood energy, and strange emotional tension, and turning it into a fresh experience with its own pulse. Live at Studio Bleu Paris, the visuals are a perfect match for the incredible performance brought forward by Magua.
Starting off with camera angles that defy the depths of cinematography, the 360 camera movements, background, and costuming bring a truly trippy sensation, forming a powerful cohesion with the original version while creating a uniquely styled, titanic world of its own.
Then, the guitars come in with a semi-muted, distant display, filled out by a powerful backing bass thunder that has the listener fully engrossed. As the visuals twist in unnatural ways, the song’s music carries that same strange movement. The peripheral visuals tantalize you, you won’t see it till you do, and they make you not only go back for repeat experiences, but also seek out possible Easter egg moments.
Then Magua’s vocals land, and the magic really begins. With a voice made for a trippy message like this song’s, we were blown away by this performance. Long-held, anguish-filled notes fill the air like a low-hanging, slow air raid siren. Magua’s vocals are a magnificent complement to “Magua - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings (Father John Misty Cover) Live at Studio Bleu Paris.”
As the song carries on, there is a noticeable, but delicate, slowing in the feel of the song. It is as if the intoxicating elements this song embellishes are having their effect. It is a vocal technique that is masterfully executed. Whether intentional, or simply because Magua is so engrossed in his performance, this brought tingles to our spine. We loved every moment of Magua’s delivery, and he has a new fan in us.
Magua is a one-man band from Kyiv, Ukraine, creating music that blends breakbeat, punk, electronic, hardcore punk, grunge, folk, funk, and more. His sound brings together harmonica, voice, drum machine, and bass guitar, creating a contrast between raw, loud force and softer, melancholic tones.
We loved Magua - Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings (Father John Misty Cover) Live at Studio Bleu Paris and we know you will too.
