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
