Welcome back to #DUMjamsDebut, DUM DUM Zine music feature where we pair a spankin’ new track with an intimate, behind the scenes peek on the song from the artist. Check out the track premiere below from L.A. lovewavers Magic Wands, who will be celebrating the official release of their new album ABRAKADABRA at our L.A. Zine Week Kickoff Event on May 20th! 

L.A.-based dream pop band Magic Wands describes their style as “lovewave” which in our dUm opinion, suits them well. Their immersive songs take you to another world that is both dark and fun, with plenty of bright melodies cloaked in an air of mystery.

“Nocturnal,” off their forthcoming album ABRAKADABRA, is hazy, heady, sexy, and languid: perfect for the longer, hotter days and nights of summer. It will hook you in from the first strum of droning guitar and keep you hypnotized until the final fade.

About the song, singer Dexy Valentine said:

“Nocturnal is about escaping the repetition of day to day life and connecting with the night and the moon.

As creators we are inspired by all things magic, love and dreams related. We’re astonished by the supernatural.”
Peep the lyrics and listen to the track below! Written by Music Editor Julia Gibson

 

NOCTURNAL

THERES NO ONE

LIKE THE MOON

I’M INVINCIBLE

WHEN I’M WITH YOU

SO MANY COLORS

SO MANY SHAPES

I WANDER THROUGH EVERY PHASE

HOW DO WE BLACK OUT THE SUN

THE KILL THE ULTRA VIOLET HUM

FOR YOUR EYES

A NEW ESCAPE

DRAW THE BLINDS AND PULL THE SHADE

I WILL FLY UP TO YOU

AND LIVE INSIDE A DREAM OR TWO

SO MANY LIVES

DON’T EVER CHANGE

THEY SLEEPWALK THROUGH EVERY DAY

IN THE GLOW

OF THE MOON

IM INVINCIBLE

WHEN IM WITH YOU

YOU WILL FIND

A NEW DISGUISE

TO WATCH ME WITH NOCTURNAL EYES

NOCTURNAL EYES
