MAGIC WANDS - MOONSHADOW
Magic Wands is a dark pop duo originally formed in Nashville by guitarists and vocalists Dexy and Chris Valentine. Now based in Los Angeles, they are known for their shimmering and dreamy sound, which incorporates elements of shoegaze, dream pop, post-punk and goth. Heavily textured guitars, synth drones and ethereal vocals are combined in their songs to conjure an otherworldly atmosphere
‘Moonshadow’ is the title track of a forthcoming album due out in the early summer on Metropolis Records. “It is a raw and introspective song about travelling at night on an underground train and how you can’t escape yourself or your own shadow,” explains Dexy Valentine.
‘Moonshadow’ follows ‘Hide’ and ‘Armour’ (both issued in 2024) as the third song to be lifted from the new album.

Dedicated to creating music that is both imaginative and emotionally engaging, Magic Wands found success soon after forming in 2008, gaining a loyal fanbase that has grown ever since. They have issued five studio albums to date, the most recent of which is ‘Switch’ (2023). Its songs were also remixed by guest artists and released as ‘Switched’ later that year.
