Sam Blasucci x No Magic

"Inspired largely by Abba & Leonard Cohen’s ‘Book of Longing’, No Magic is one of the first songs written in this batch of songs and became a kind of anchor for this record. Even with all the troubling themes this song addresses lyrically, it still carries itself as an upbeat ear worm and is a feel good type of song. After the track was finished, it felt slightly hallow still, so we decided to add on a layer of slap back delay over the whole song and that really felt like it took it into its right place. It almost feels a bit Big Star with that extra bit of muddiness. Initially wasn’t planned as a single, but in the end it felt like a song that should have a special highlight."
