When Computer Magic, aka Danielle “Danz” Johnson, popped up on our local radar back in 2011, we noted how the spacey electro-pop tunes on her “Electric Fences” EP were chock-full of hooks and whimsically still on the rock edge. Johnson is now 11 releases deep (a combination of single and EPs) and her songs still have the same starry-eyed playfulness; she’s just making music under Computer Magic as a Brooklyn artist now. Computer Magic returns to L.A. for only one date, but it’s here that she chooses to celebrate the release of her latest EP, “Extra Stuff,” on vinyl. Synth-heavy but floating in a psych-pop soundscape, songs like the funky “All I Ever Wanted” and the introspective ballad “A Confession” make the 8-track EP a woozy listen with bursts of hope throughout thanks to Johnson’s darling vocals.
