Irish synthwave innovators Tiny Magnetic Pets unveil their new single and video “Lost My Guiding Light (Again)”, a luminous and emotionally charged reinvention that reflects the search for hope, orientation, and inner steadiness in an increasingly unstable world. The track invites listeners to confront the question at its core: what remains as your guiding light when everything else shifts?
Serving as a compelling preview of the forthcoming three‑track Astralux EP, set for release on 21 August, the single reimagines one of the band’s most beloved songs. By weaving cinematic synth textures, soaring melodic lines, and a vibrant electronic pulse, Tiny Magnetic Pets transform the original into a bold new anthem — brighter, more expansive, and emotionally resonant.
Based between Dublin and Belfast, Tiny Magnetic Pets have carved out a distinct place in contemporary electronic music since their emergence in 2015. Their blend of retro‑futurist warmth, modern synthwave sheen, and art‑pop sensibility has earned them a reputation as one of the genre’s most expressive voices. On this release, vocalist Paula Gilmer, keyboardist‑guitarist Sean Quinn, and drummer Eugene Somers are joined by Seamus Quinn on bass, adding further depth to the band’s evolving sound.
With “Lost My Guiding Light (Again)” and the upcoming Astralux EP, Tiny Magnetic Pets continue to refine their radiant, emotionally charged electronic world — one where nostalgia, futurism, and human vulnerability converge in striking harmony. Recommended to fans of Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Stereolab, Kraftwerk, OMD, Gary Numan, and similar. Link
