Magazine (Jump, Little Children album)

Magazine is an album by the American indie rock group Jump, Little Children, released in 1998. It was the band's major label debut.

Critical reception

The Boston Herald thought that "from the three minute, three-chord sugar rush of 'My Guitar', to the cello-buoyed mope-rock of 'Cathedrals', Jump, Little Children comes off like pop-wise old pros."

AllMusic wrote that "there's an accent on swelling, instantly gracious choruses, but the band seems a bit too tentative in their new direction to infuse the songs with the self-belief necessary for the music to rise above American indie convention."
