October 23 - What Have You Done To The Magician

A demo at once frustratingly complete and understandably unreleased, this is a simple song with complicated and fully fleshed somewhat surreal lyrics. This is a charming melodrama, a confection of thrills with imagery of crime and cover-up and a core of essentially nothing. That's sort of why it works. It feels very thirties in a "Carter Beats The Devil" sort of way, but has something slightly grim and slightly mad at its core.
