Throughout “Whirlwind”, the third song on Xenia Rubinos’ debut album Magic Trix, there’s a joyous vocal choppiness that darts between speakers like a figure in a stop-motion film. There’s the seesawing groan of a squeaky door, low, crunching keyboards, and a hectic, roiling drumbeat that Zach Hill wouldn't be ashamed of. When you listen closely, you realize there are words to Rubinos’ scrambled ululations: “When you get the feelin’ that you’re startin’ to wake up,” she trills, like an alarm. “Something I really wanted on this record, and in general, is exuberance,” the young Brooklyn-dwelling singer told Rookie recently. She's triumphed unambiguously: Magic Trix is a startling lightning bolt of a record.
There are four primary parts to Rubinos’ busy sound: her electric, smoky voice; overdriven keyboards, which often seem like electric guitar but aren't; the contributions of syncopation-happy drummer Marco Buccelli and funk-inclined bassist Adam Minkoff. Magic Trix recalls tUnE-yArDs, Battles, Camille, and the melodies of St. Vincent’s Marry Me remade with a Strange Mercy-era approach-- but true to the record’s title, Rubinos has a wizard's unique flair.
