Wildly prolific Israeli-born, Costa Rican-based singer/songwriter, musician and JOVM mainstay MAGON will be releasing his 11th album in March.

The forthcoming album’s first single “Tales of a Mountain Child” possesses a freewheeling restless nature reminiscent of early Bob Dylan, Harvest-era Neil Young and Inner Journey Out-era Psychic Ills with the song being anchored around a lo-fi motorik-like pulse, shimmering guitars, bursts of mellotron and the JOVM mainstay’s uncanny knack for catchy hooks. The song’s arrangement serves a lush and dreamy bed for MAGON’s equally dreamy delivery. And at its core, the song captures a familiar feeling for me — the seemingly irresistible push and pull of a life on the road.

The accompanying video follows a real life mountain child — Magon’s friend and neighbor José — riding the streets and mountain roads of the town they live in, free, untethered and chasing the horizon. The song manages to further emphasize the song’s freewheeling, restless nature.
