麻瓜是开始于中国湖南西部小城张家界的一个器乐摇滚创作计划，作品涉及后摇滚、数学摇滚、氛围等元素。
在2009年由湖南省会长沙返回故乡张家界之前，刘洋一直是另一支后摇滚乐队48V的吉他手。短暂休整之后，麻瓜作为一支不考虑演出的录音室乐队成立了。他们选择加入了48V的合作厂牌、位于北京的1724唱片，并在此后以几乎每年一张的节奏，发行了8张唱片。其中CD 3张、黑胶4张、磁带1张。此外还有4首单曲，收录于各合辑或单独以数字版发布。
麻瓜创作的声音，往往通过吉他主导的旋律、低缓的背景人声和音效，描摹并再造那些貌似安静的场景。
这和麻瓜的目的一致：在平庸的日常和模式化的音乐类型中，找到并完成新的声音。

英文介绍
（感谢浩然同学）
Muggle is an instrumental rock project including post-rock, math-rock and ambient, comes from Zhang Jiajie, a small town located in the west of Hu Nan province.
In 2009, Liu Yang, the guitarist of 48v——another post-rock band in Chang Sha, left for his hometown, Zhang Jiajie, a few months after that, Muggle was established by Liu Yang and Zhao Min as a studio band insists in no-performing. Muggle joined 1724, the record label of 48v’s in Beijing, and released two records in 2016 and 2017.
In a slow life surrounded by pretty landscape scenery of Zhang Jiajie, seems Muggle is recording a quiet life by music, however, some inspiration makes such recording unique——Muggle is trying to find and accomplish different tunes from normal life pattern and stereotyped music style.
As Muggle’s latest record, Foldback——also its first full-length album—— is a conceptual ambient production. Combining the melody led by guitar and slow voice along with dialogue from Dream of the Red Chamber, a classic TV play premiered in 1987, Foldback gently reminds us how memory and beauty fades out as time goes by, all the youths and bustle will turn into dust in the end.
Out of respect for the artists(’cause both Muggle and 1724 tried but didn’t get authorization from the TV play’s publisher.It’s another story.So,anyway ), those who love Foldback will get it in a special way, for free, instead of buying.
Muggle will play instruments in a conventional way in its next album, another 1724 production, which will be released in 2017.
