October was a crazy month for Cuddle Magic, with a tour around the Northeast and four days of recording with Bryce Goggin at Trout Recording in Park Slope. To continue the trend, they’ll be at Pete’s Candy Store every Tuesday during the month of November joined by a different friend each week. For all the details check out the tour page.

As we bask in the two feet of snow we received this past weekend in Philadelphia, we here at FYO would like to share some very exciting news. This past Tuesday marked the release of Cuddle Magic’s sophomore album Picture, a project that has been three years in the making. It is available on CD or as a download directly from us, and we’ve decided to include a download code with each CD purchase for instant gratification. Woo-hoo!

“Those who enjoy music with a bit more focus might be distracted — Cuddle Magic do like to change horses midstream. But if you’re drawn to more precocious music, the rewards are many…”
- Boston Phoenix

“Picture picks up where Cuddle Magic’s eponymous debut left off — sad, symphonic, plucky, curvaceous…The first best album of 2010? You bet.”
- Philadelphia City Paper

“Picture (FYO) could be 2010’s most fascinating pop album of the year… I can see this band going very far with what they do.”
- This Is Book’s Music

“Cuddle Magic are following their noses into some of the best and most unconventional pop songs we will ever have the privilege of downloading.”
- The Ampeater Review

And this is Cuddle Magic’s website. They’ll be playing concerts in Philadelphia, Boston, and New York in support of this record on February 22nd through the 25th – see our tour page for more details.
