This post will be a quickie… (honey get yo mind out of the guttah!) … but very soon we will flood you, overwhelm you, INUNDATE you with some amazing footage and pics from our release day epicness. We’ve just been catching up on sleep. :]

Back to the quickie – Home:Word is now available on iTunes and Amazon!! This is actually the very first Magnetic North album to get on iTunes and Amazon (damn that pesky copyright thing on Drift Away…) so preview, buy, and please shoot us a review! Because we have no idea what you think about the album. I mean if this were elementary school and you started picking on us and punching us then obviously you like us, but we aren’t in elementary school anymore so an itunes/amazon review will have to do. Haha.

Buy on iTunes

Love ya fam!

Sup y’all!  We know that some of you awesome folks won’t be able to hit up our NYC ALBUM RELEASE PARTY this coming Friday because of the age restriction (bummer I know), but Taiyo, Theresa, and I really want to do something special for y’all too.  So together with Hyphen Magazine, Chinatown Youth Initiative, and the Chinatown Ice Cream Factory, we’re holding a Meet ‘n Greet at the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) this Sunday, June 6th.

You can get the album early, there will be a live acoustic performance, and (most importantly) there will be FREE CHINATOWN ICE CREAM FACTORY.  Almond cookie (mah favorite)!  Ginger (delicious)!  Lychee (refreshing)!  Black Sesame (my Mom’s favorite)!  Red bean (trademark)!  Yeah you get the point =).  Details below!

If ya’ll are anything like us you have a hard time choosing appetizers at a restaurant…. there’s just so much fatty deliciousness to partake in… how to pick just one?  Well….thank whatever genius invented the SAMPLER. Why choose when you can have a little bit of everything?  That’s what chef DJ Boo did for us w/ the album…cutting and slicing thick morsels of songs to serve to you on a hot platter.  Click below to see what we have for you on Home:Word…..
