Sweaty Magic
(Asthmatic Kitty Records)
Not to stretch the sex issue metaphor into the music reviews or anything, but Rafter’s Sweaty Magic provides a musical play by play to your late-night (or mid-morning) escapades. “Noise” gets the party started with some mid-tempo thumping, before moving into the all-out piston-driving assault of “Magic.” Staving off the very real possibility of premature ejaculation, “Juicy” slows it down so you can catch your breath and regain your form, before “Sassy” introduces some syncopation so that you can drive your partner wild with your irregular rhythmic pacing, and differentiated strokes. After that, “Sweat” provides you with a soundtrack for some slow stroking to finish it all up right. A moment of jealousy creeps into the magical moment in the form of the sixth song “Salt,” before the warm afterglow of “Heat” envelopes your body in party time horn lines to help you roll over and snooze. Or hit repeat on your CD player and get it on again. V
