about

eOne

The label debut by Los Angeles Cult Band- Magnolia Memoir. It's been likened to "Gwen Stefani meets Fiona Apple" ... and "Billie Holiday meets Tom Waits with a dash of the Clash"...

“Magnolia Memoir’s new album “THE PERFECT CRIME” is PERFECT BLISS! - It’s as addictive as chocolate caramels. Mela Lee’s honey and cinnamon voice over Alex Burke’s & the band’s exquisite arrangements and crescendo’s, brings to mind the highlights from 1960′s pop, and dazzles the listener with images of some great noir film you think you’ve seen. Funky and soulful, mysterious and alluring, the album’s narrative holds together throughout, weaving a sultry tale of seduction, personal empowerment and longing. It’s the perfect album for lingering in bed on a warm morning with your lover (or someone else’s).” -Darick Robertson (Artist and co-creator of Transmetropolitan, and The BOYS)
