Lost in Your Mind — Los Angeles’ Magic Wands Debut Video for Dreamy Darkwave Track “Hide”

There’s a hole in the sky

When we walk out of time

Lost in your mind

I know what you hide

In the swirling chaos of the world today, there’s a trio spinning their own melodic, gossamer web of artistry: Magic Wands. Formed in the musical heartland of Nashville by guitarists and vocalists Chris and Dexy Valentine, they later found their rhythm amidst the neon glare of Los Angeles as they welcomed the percussive talents of drummer Charlie Woodburn. Magic Wands has been enchanting the American music landscape with their dark, seductive dream-pop, leaving a trail of bewitched listeners in their wake.

Today, they announce a new single along with an accompanying video for the song Hide that features a remix by Lars Deutsch. Its dreamy, heavily-textured guitars, droning synths, and ethereal vocals, designed to create an otherworldly atmosphere, paint a picture of drifting and disconnection, with a gaping hole in the sky and the sensation of walking out of time.

The speaker is lost in another’s mind, aware of secrets lurking in the shadows, and seeks to erase past memories. There’s a pervasive sense of being distant, both physically and emotionally, grappling with the hidden darkness of the night.

Watch the ethereal self-directed video for “Hide” below:

Magic Wands have released several albums, including their critically acclaimed Metropolis Records album Switch, that perfectly showcases their unique sound and style. Today, Hide is available through Metropolis Records.

Listen to the song below or order here.

Magic Wands’ Switch is a mesmerizing ensemble of darkly enchanting dream pop tunes. This captivating journey transports listeners through moody and atmospheric soundscapes reminiscent of the shadowy drama that flourished within alternative rock between 1988 and 1991. Each song weaves a somber yet enthralling mood that is both cathartic and exhilarating.

The band’s spellbinding performances have also seen them share the stage with an impressive roster of iconic bands and artists. They’ve rocked out alongside giants like Radiohead, Slowdive, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Breeders, The Horrors, Dinosaur Jr, The Wombats, Deerhunter, Mac DeMarco, The Kills, The Black Keys, Sebadoh, Ty Segall, and The Raconteurs. Moreover, they’ve enchanted audiences at esteemed music festivals such as Lollapalooza, SXSW, Noise Pop Festival, Culture Collide, Desert Stars Festival, Levitation Festival Austin, and Echo Park Rising. Their music’s universal appeal was further underlined by their headline tours across the UK and Europe in 2017 and 2018, including the Great Escape Festival.
