The USA-based dream/dark pop duo Magic Wands has released a double single that couples a new song, "Across The Water", with a remix by Stargods of its "Hide" single issued exactly a year ago; the latter accompanied by a video.
The duo describes "Across The Water" as "setting the tone for a sonic journey through time, transporting us to a 16th-century French European landscape and evoking the essence of a bygone era. Its repetition invites interpretation, allowing listeners to weave their own narrative and connect with the music on a deeper level".
"Across The Water" is the opening track of Magic Wands' upcoming album, Cascades, scheduled for release on 24 October via Metropolis Records. The album also includes the original "Hide" single alongside the previously revealed "Armour" and "Moonshadow". Cascades will be promoted with an appearance at the Substance 2025 festival in Los Angeles on 7 November, with further shows to be arranged.
