This is the story of Melody Nelson Apart from me no one Ever took her in his arms Under her thumb Eyes in the sun Oh my Melody mine Oh my Melody mine She has nothing but love Poor Melody Nelson Her life was more said than done But her days were numbered (?Nil?) Count fourteen falls Fifteen on calls A baby tiger was Melody Nelson Forever purring in the sun Just as dangerous as a child With a gun, shooting me down Oh my Melody mine Melody Nelson Still playing hurting games for fun As adorable as dumb Deaf to the sound To what's going down Down Down

about

Hailed by Iron & Wine’s Samuel Beam as ‘the master of the loop pedal’, multi instrumentalist Marc Rigelsford, AKA the Manchester based Magic Arm, is set to release ‘Widths and Heights’ on Switchflicker Records in July. Splendidly eclectic, ‘Widths and Heights’ is a masterpiece of musicianship, with layers of sounds, bleeps and vocals all fighting for supremacy over each other, yet working side by side to produce a playfully organic gem, whilst at the same time serving the best interests of pop music.

Radio 1’s Huw Stephens, always the baton bearer for new music, championed Magic Arm’s last release, the ‘Outdoor Games’ EP, released last year – After the successful release of the EP, which received critical acclaim from the press, Marc locked himself away to write for four months, and then spent a further six months in the studio to put the finishing touches to ‘Widths and Heights’, and his debut album
