Singer Bj\u00f6rn Norberg was enthusiastic about the collaboration, acknowledging how the duet combined the classic songs with dance-driven rhythms while adding their own magical twist. The remix begins with strange metallic sounds and progresses into vibrant electronic layers. Soon, ethereal goth-style vocals enter the mix, creating a beautiful but evil setting. The synth work is heavily electro-influenced, analogous of Clock DVA&#8217;s experimental style, Bauhaus&#8217; gothic attitude, and Siouxsie and the Banshees&#8217; atmospheric darkness. The production remains balanced, with compression used to maintain energy while avoiding extreme loudness. Dark guitar sounds contrast with the uptempo\u00a0electronic beat, resulting in a groove that drives the song\u00a0while preserving its spooky vibe. Around 2:40, the guitar lines change to a shoegaze-inspired environment, adding another layer of atmosphere. Slight influences from early\u00a0U2, The Birthday Party, and The Cure combine to create a deeply structured composition that switches between darkwave, dream pop, and gothic electro but maintains a hypnotic and powerful audio character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Humanity (Magic Wands Remix)\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/6JerntjOqMMz4onLml1TyI?si=8659c96a45ed4a5b&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/killingkindband\/\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/killingkindband\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/killingkind.bandcamp.com\/\">Music | Killing Kind<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Killing Kind collaborated with the American duet Magic Wands on this remix of &#8220;Humanity,&#8221; resulting&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29911,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,5],"tags":[2574,284,4975,455],"class_list":["post-29910","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pop-rock-reviews","category-reviews","tag-electro","tag-goth","tag-killing-kind","tag-post-punk"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29910","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29910"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29910\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29912,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29910\/revisions\/29912"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29911"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29910"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29910"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29910"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
