MAGIC WANDS<\/strong> | Moonshadow<\/em> visualizer

Magic Wands<\/strong> is a dark pop duo originally formed in Nashville by guitarists and vocalists Dexy and Chris Valentine. Now based in Los Angeles, they are known for their shimmering and dreamy sound, which incorporates elements of shoegaze, dream pop, post-punk and goth. Heavily textured guitars, synth drones and ethereal vocals are combined in their songs to conjure an otherworldly atmosphere

\u2018Moonshadow\u2019 is the title track of a forthcoming album due out in the early summer on Metropolis Records. \u201cIt is a raw and introspective song about travelling at night on an underground train and how you can\u2019t escape yourself or your own shadow,\u201d <\/em>explains Dexy Valentine.

\u2018Moonshadow\u2019 follows \u2018Hide\u2019 and \u2018Armour\u2019 (both issued in 2024) as the third song to be lifted from the new album.
