Swedish duo The Sound of Arrows release their second single for Geffen today, entitled ‘Magic’. With the stunning music video/short movie for the track spreading across the web like wildfire, notching up around 800,000 views, and the band apparently named by Madonna as an influence on her new record, things are looking suitably bright in The Sound of Arrows camp.

Amidst a slew of festival appearances, they have also unveiled a remix of the track by Tom Staar.

Set in a world where all the adults have disappeared, the colourful 4 minute epic video that has been causing a stir online this week brings to mind the enchanting mystery of Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” and the playful imagination of Pixar’s creations. It’s “Where The Wild Things Are” meets “The Neverending Story”, and every bit as fantastical, beguiling, and eye-poppingly stunning as that sounds.

The Sound of Arrows play the following festival dates this summer:

July 01 Blissfields Festival Winchester
July 15 Melt Festival Germany
July 16 Lovebox Festival London
Aug 18 Pukkelpop Festival Belgium
