Cuddle Magic is an avant-pop band located between Brooklyn and Philadelphia. The band’s latest LP, 'Ashes/Axis', out now on Northern Spy, sees Cuddle Magic “dive into the pop side of chamber pop with more fluency and confidence than they’ve ever shown in the past” (Pitchfork). It is warm and precise, raw yet sophisticated; a set of infectious pop songs from either an alternate reality or a paradoxically familiar near-future.
