Dark Dreampop duo MAGIC WANDS Announce New Album 'Cascades' Out October 24 via Metropolis Records

MAGIC WANDS Announce New Album CASCADES  out October 24, 2025 via Metropolis Pre-Order HERE Featuring New Single "TIME TO DREAM" HERE Magic Wands  OCTOBER 1, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) -- Dark dreampop duo Magic Wands will release a new album entitled Cascades on October 24 via Metropolis Records. It includes their current single, "Time To Dream," as well as the previously issued "Hide," "Armour," "Moonshadow," and "Across The Water." “Cascades was born from a fascination with how the past lingers inside us and explores transformation and the spaces where timelines blur into one,” the band explains. Shaped by the spirit of centuries-old poetry, gothic romance, and myth, the album pulses with post-punk and dream-pop sounds, shot through with lingering shadows of the old world, bridging the sound of their 2012 debut album Aloha Moon with more recent releases. The album will be promoted with an appearance at The Substance Festival HERE in Los Angeles on November 7th with further shows to be arranged. MAGIC WANDS - "Hide" Listen: https://youtu.be/vhnpl9xbUPo?si=aOWJZUL-TImmvifk Formed in 2008 in Nashville by vocalists/guitarists Dexy and Chris Valentine but now based in Los Angeles, Magic Wands are known for a shimmering, dreamy sound that melds elements of shoegaze, dreampop, postpunk, and goth. Their music utilzes heavily-textured guitars, synth drones, and ethereal vocals to conjure an otherworldly atmosphere, plus song lyrics that are emotionally engaging. The duo has built a loyal fanbase over the course of five studio albums to date, the most recent of which was Switch (2023). Songs from it were subsequently remixed by guest artists and released as Switched later that same year. MAGIC WANDS - "Armour" Listen: https://youtu.be/_yEc_Qfg3po?si=RXUMrZyB_IP4L8y_ Magic Wands is a partnership built on alchemy of dark dreampop, goth-tinged postpunk, and a touch of cosmic romance.  They first cast their spell with the 2012 debut album Aloha Moon, an introduction to their world of glowing guitars, hypnotic rhythms, and lyrical mysticism. That vision deepened and expanded with Jupiter (2016), Abrakadabra (2018), and Illuminate (2020), each release charting new constellations in their evolving sound.  After further experimentation and exploration on Switch 2023, the band continues their journey with Cascades. It had the melodic hooks of their debut album Aloha Moon and the deconstructed foundation of the last album Switch. Evoking a sense of romance and nostalgia, it will sweep you into an introspective and dreamlike landscape of castles, gardens, rivers, and forests. With dark post-punk overtones, there is always a shimmer of moonlight in the distance.  Shaped by the duo’s signature cinematic atmosphere and celestial hooks, they hint at an album that explores transformation, reflection, and the pull of distant horizons.  Magic Wands make music like portals, each record a doorway into a different century, a different sky. Over a decade since Aloha Moon, their magic is only growing stronger. Cascades is available for pre-order HERE. Stream their new single "Time To Dream" Here.
