like Flash in the Pan back in late july, there's almost nothing completely new about this track and its b-side How to Teleport—but the evolutions and style integrations are completely awe-inspiring. while the eccentricity of that prior pair of singles was felt more fully as a complete package, the a-side here is her best since Census Designated, without a hint of doubt. every integration of leroy's electric splashes and subtle pans, the CD-like build before the 'favorite girl' outro with the heavily processed guitar shrieks, and her vocals displaying yet more range in psychedelic-tinged imagery... there's something completely otherworldly about it all. How to Teleport sees her experimenting with latin electronics, with an inherently catchy way about it—and it's a nice post-script with fl studio trademarks—but Magic is the real pull.
