US dream-pop duo Magic Wands<\/strong> have released a brand new single entitled \u2018Sacred Mirrors\u2019 today. The song is a collaboration with guitarist John Ashton<\/strong>, best known as a member of the iconic post-punk rock group The Psychedelic Furs who played a key role in all seven of their album releases made between 1980 and 1991.
The group went on hiatus soon after and Ashton became a producer, working with Marianne Faithfull and The Sisters Of Mercy (he had also produced their classic 1982 single, \u2018Alice\u2019), but he remained with the Furs for another eight years following their reformation in 2000. He released the solo album \u2018Satellite Paradiso\u2019 in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI fell in love with Magic Wands via a friend who sent me some of their music,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>states Ashton.\u00a0\u201cThe songs immediately drew me in via the visions and emotions they imparted on my psyche. I was hooked and wanted more, finding it in songs like \u2018Across The Water\u2019 from their latest album, \u2018Cascades\u2019. To say I was inspired to write new music would be an understatement. I was recently interviewed for the Sticky Jazz podcast\u00a0<\/em>HERE<\/a>\u00a0and mentioned that I had been listening to the new record, and it turned out the host was also a fan of the band and hooked me up! \u2018Sacred Mirrors\u2019 was inspired by their music and I am honoured to have been given the opportunity to collaborate with them on this.\u201d
