Philly alt-rock band Grayscale have announced the release of a brand-new version of their fan-favorite track “Some Kind of Magic,” reimagined in collaboration with indie-pop outfit Smallpools.
Originally appearing on Grayscale’s January release The Hart, “Some Kind of Magic” quickly became a standout track, praised for its soaring melodies and nostalgic, neon-tinged energy. Now, with Smallpools lending their signature sound, the song takes on a new life – faster, brighter, and bursting with 80s-inspired flair.
““For ‘Some Kind Of Magic,’ we tapped into some of our favorite 80s bands that our parents always had playing around the house growing up. After months of re-working it and continually speeding up the tempo, we finally landed on an upbeat song that feels like ‘The Cure on cocaine.’ Our friends in Smallpools were the immediate choice for the feature, one of our favorite 80s inspired alt bands ever. We totally reworked the song together to give it a different feel, and we absolutely love it.”
