Magic Wands have released a brand new single entitled ‘Diamond Rain’, today (14th August) via Metropolis Records. Long renowned for their dream-pop sound that also incorporates elements of shoegaze, post-punk and goth, the LA-based duo comprised of vocalists/guitarists Dexy and Chris Valentine state that “the song doesn’t have one fixed meaning. To us, it’s about moving toward the light, finding beauty after darkness and allowing people to discover their own meaning within it.”
‘Diamond Rain’ is accompanied by a homemade video, which they explain was created “using old cameras, lights and mirrors to create textures and effects that give it a dreamlike feeling.”
‘Diamond Rain’ is the first track to be lifted from a brand new Magic Wands album due in early 2027 and follows the recent EPs Wishing Well STREAM | BANDCAMP and ‘Remixes’ STREAM | BANDCAMP. The first of these featured a collaboration with John Ashton of The Psychedelic Furs entitled ‘Sacred Mirrors’, while the latter included reworkings of several songs from the duo’s acclaimed Cascades studio album issued in late 2025. A Magic Wands remix of ‘Swoon’ by former Bauhaus singer Peter Murphy was also released as a single in May and can be heard HERE.
