RIP Magic wasted no time. In their first year, they were dubbed "London's hottest band" by The Guardian, played gigs from big stages with LCD Soundsystem and Fcukers to tiny pub and restaurant venues across London, and now release a physical single, produced by James Murphy, his first production for another band in over a decade. 5words slowly unfurls into an euphoric urban epic, drawing inspiration from The Velvet Underground, Orbital, The Rapture (Echoes era), the cinematic world of Dean Blunt, and, let's be honest, Nirvana. It’s as if decades have melted into the present, carried by a fluid, resolute discovery through the simplest method: four people in a room searching for something new, something grand, a unique sensation. The B-side features a remix by Maurice Fulton himself, his first collaboration with DFA since the instant success of Syclops records in 2008. Maurice is one of the greatest remixers and producers of his generation, an architect of a sound so singular and recognizable that even his aliases don't fool connoisseurs. This remix is typically Maurice: deliciously off-kilter and irresistibly impactful.
