Fleetwood Mac’s oft-forgotten first, second guitarist, Jeremy Spencer, has made a 21st-century career of low-key, mostly instrumental albums and singles. 

That languid, almost-contemplative sound continues with the Magic of Coincidence, Spencer’s first full-length offering since 2021’s Boundless and a five-year stretch devoted exclusively to singles. And though the music owes little to the blues and rockabilly Spencer brought to the band he co-founded with Peter Green, Magic is a welcome return. 

The multi-instrumentalist Spencer employs the expected electric slide guitar and acoustic piano he played with Fleetwood Mac between 1967 and 1970. He pairs them with a barely there rhythm section, acoustic guitar and melodica to create nine relaxing, slow-tempo tone paintings with such titles as “Holy Mountain,” “Super Blue Moon” and “Haunting Fragrance” to set the mood. 

Said mood is chill. The songs are a light blanket for the drifting listener. And the experience is an ideal way to ease in to—or out of—virtually any day.
