Released: 24/10/2011
Wire-sound
Rock 'n' roll legends returning from the grave can be a terrible thing to behold (watch out Stone Roses!) but Magazine's first material in 30 years manages that rare thing: ten songs with the charm and verve of their seminal post-punk heyday. Founder Howard Devoto refuses to grow old gracefully; No Thyself makes you ask why anyone should.

BBC“A powerful reminder of why the Devoto cult has endured...” The chief surprise lies in how fresh Magazine’s trademark blend of arch art-rock, discrete funk and cinematic atmosphere still sounds...
