Schoolkids Records (Retail & Label)

In a time rife with alienation, Magic Touch, the third album by the ubiquitous and mysterious Jack Name, offers the comfort of contact. With a body of work that ranges from the catchy to the cacophonous, Name has earned the reputation of a musician who’s difficult to define. For over a decade, he’s been a fixture in the Los Angeles underground. His songs have appeared on albums by U.S. Girls and White Fence; he’s produced recordings for Cass McCombs and collaborated with Ariel Pink. Includes download card.
