L.A. glam rock/punk garage band Death Valley Girls have aired their new single “Magic Powers“, alongside an accompanying music video.
The song is taken from their upcoming album ‘Islands in the Sky‘, due to be released on February 23 through Suicide Squeeze Records. Pre-order your copy here.
Spaeking about it, bandleader Bonnie Bloomgarden says:
“I was walking down the street, and all of the sudden it dawned on me that almost all the things that kids bullied me about, or I got in trouble for in school, or was told would make me never amount to anything, were actually my magic powers! My voice isn’t too high, or funny, it’s how I cast my spells! I’m not a bad student, I love learning, and being a seeker! And I’m not a crazy person with weird ideas, that will never fit into society, I’m a witch, and I have magic powers!“
The video was directed by the band’s bassist/co-lead singer Samantha Westervelt directed the video, who shares:
“This was a really exciting video to work on. The concept of the song and the concept of the video go hand-in-hand: facing challenges in life are part of the obstacle course we go through when we are training to get Magic Powers. No situation is ever going to be perfect and mistakes or adversity will challenge us, but if we stay true to who we are in the face of the lessons we’re served, and try try try again no matter what stands in our way, we can have magic powers. I am a firm believer in reincarnation, manifestation, and divine timing, and the video also plays around with those ideas, in addition to playing with a recurring theme from our “What Are The Odds” video (i.e., living in a simulated world).”

The band will also embark on a UK tour this February and March with shows in London, Nottingham, Newcastle and Manchester.
