Justus Proffit toys with electronic sounds, dreamy melodies and harmonies to create the sonic background for his lyrically heavy album, ‘Magic’. His subject matter focuses on the human condition; with songs often referencing depression, self knowledge, and overcoming. Some ’90s punk qualities of the album are found in the anthemic conclusions to which some songs (Stay, Lost) arrive. But even while the guitar and drums sound dissonant, Proffit’s vocal melodies remain dreamy, catchy and thoughtful. Justus Proffit’s music is inventively sentimental and unafraid; driven by personal struggles and contemplation, his songs reassure himself of his own motives. Justus Proffit is hitting the west coast with his band mid September through October.”
