Following up the “NYC Animal” album, Strange Majik re-emerges with the bold “Queen Of The Night,” a rock nod to the iconic Giorgio Moroder whose sexy dance floor bangers propelled Blondie, David Bowie and Donna Summer Into the 80s. Backed by his Fripp inspired infinite sustaining guitar lines, Geoff Burke on sax, and up and coming Brooklyn soul artist Bako on background vocals this is a hybrid rock juggernaut.
With a catalog of 7 albums and multiple singles this is Majik’s 73rd release. From the deep soul grooves of his 2015 “Lights On,” to the glammy garage rock of 20/20, to the 2024 punk infused NY rock influences, Strange Majik is an artist who continues to defy the norm.

“’NYC Animal’ is a collection of ‘unadulterated sonic brilliance’, which can be defined in many ways — ways which always lead back to the artist exemplifying his elemental brand of iconic New York Rock, Disco, Psych and Soul.”
Tone Scott – Goldmine Magazine
“His latest LP is a paean to his adopted home city, homing in on the pre-gentrification danger encapsulated by Lou, Iggy, and sticky floor dives such as CBGB’s. With a touch of Y2K indie sleaze and some nightclub grooves Pattillo has crafted a sound drenched in nocturnal, hedonistic vibes.”Duncan Fletcher – Shindig Magazine
