#46 Jeremy Tuplin - Space Magic

After releasing possibly our favourite album of 2019 in Pink Mirror, the fantastic Jeremy Tuplin is back with Space Magic, the first single from the upcoming ‘Violet Waves’, an album comprised of 12 new songs “exploring love, the ensuing apocalypse of our habitat and all that exists beyond.”

The ‘Space-folk’ pioneer tells us: “The song is about finding the fascinating in the everyday,” Tuplin explains. “I guess I use the term ‘magic’ loosely in a scientific way, and mostly focus on the very grandiose ‘Space Magic’, but through nature and anything from planet formation to the human mind, your neighbour’s overhanging wild rose or that piece of toast you’re eating for breakfast, it’s all pretty magical”.

Beaming this first broadcast to us, Tuplin invites listeners to float in its LSD-infused soundscape, the fleeting stroke of the chimes imitating the fall of stardust from above.

Exclusively recorded with the band who joined Tuplin on sojourns through Germany, Italy and two UK headline tours last year, their unfailing presence in this new single, and album as a whole, results in a more brash, bombastic output, espousing the electrifying drama of Scott Walker.

Fittingly, Tuplin closes with a death wish. “I’ve been thinking and when I die, I would like my heart cut out and projected into outer space / And maybe it’ll catch on and others will do the same / The entirety of the human race / With their hearts cut out and floating in outer space”. Jeremy, we have lift off.
