Album Notes

Magic Car are from Nottingham - Robin Hood country! They are the vehicle of singer-songwriter Phil Smeeton and vocalist Hazel Atkinson. Incredibly, Phil says that he never sent any demos to record companies, but was just pleased if anyone "sober enough to stand up and listen!" enjoyed what they heard. However, Tiny Dog Records heard the songs and believed that they deserved a worldwide audience. Here are some reviews for their debut album, "Yellow Main Sequence":
