Background notes
Archive material and source history
Magic Wands formed in Los Angeles around 2009 with Cris Cuddy on vocals and guitar, Dan Cuddy on guitar, Steve Hoey on bass, Ryan Sollee on drums, and David Givan on keyboards. Their early track "Black Magic" got some attention, and they put out albums like Magic Wands in 2010, Lost Weekend in 2013, Altitude in 2018, and Aetherlight in 2023.
Their sound has that hazy, layered quality you hear in dream pop and shoegaze, with songs like "Kaleidoscope Hearts" and "Warrior" floating somewhere between psychedelic rock and something more introspective. They've mentioned The Cure and Cocteau Twins as touchstones, which makes sense given the moody melodies and cryptic lyrics.
Some listeners found their approach unconventional when they started, but they kept working in that space anyway. The writing stays pretty grounded for all the reverb, more about everyday longing than grand statements.
