The origins of Magnog are in Seattle, Washington band Space Helmet, which essentially split up into Magnog and the more noise-based Hovercraft, circa 1993. (Magnog's drummer and Hovercraft's guitarist are brothers.) Magnog's lineup consisted of Jeff Reilly (bass, guitar), Dana Shinn (drums), and Phil Drake (guitar), with all three also singing and playing keyboards. After sending three ninety-minute demo tapes of lengthy improvised jams, recorded between 1994 and 1997, to Kranky Records, the trio recorded an album for the label with Jessamine's Andy Brown as producer. The eponymous album was released in 1996, drawing comparisons with 1970s German Krautrock bands such as Ash Ra Tempel and early Tangerine Dream.[1]
The following year, tracks from the demo tapes were selected for release as the double CD More Weather. The band then played the Vienna Jazz Festival and opened concerts on a tour with their friends Pearl Jam.
After the band broke up, Reilly made further records as Octal, including an album for former Spacemen 3 member Sonic Boom's label, Space Age Records.
