Chicago-Based Folk Emsemble Magical Beasts Release Their New EP "Yes, My Love, I Am Reaching"
/
Magical Beasts are a Chicago based folk ensemble led by Nathan Paulus. The core of the group consists of Nathan Paulus, Josh Miller and John Herbst, For each album different Chicago musicians and artists are sought out to collaborate. The project is Nathan's passion and primary form of art expression.
The ensemble has just dropped their new 6-track EP entitled “Yes, My Love, I am Reaching”. Speaking about the project, they say that, “This album is full of love songs and devotional music. There is a fair amount of sexual imagery so there is no mistaking the type of devotion we are speaking about with a religion, and while not religious, nor is it purely sexual. The dynamics between Love, Sex, deep Yearning, and various forms of Union are for the listener to parse out themselves. The release is very much intended to be listened to around the time of the Winter Solstice, and is very much a Winter record”.
