Alternative rock outfit Magenta Ray dive into the intoxicating first moments of attraction on their new single ‘A Kiss Like This’, delivering a darkly seductive combination of guitar music and atmospheric pop.
Led by founding members Lisa Hart and Mark Larson, the track pairs propulsive indie-rock rhythms with layered guitars and Hart’s expressive vocal performance. There’s a distinctly nocturnal quality running through the production, with touches of darkwave and electronic music adding tension beneath its immediate hooks.
Taking cues from the shadowier corners of bands such as Garbage and The Dead Weather, ‘A Kiss Like This’ focuses on that sudden spark between two people when a connection becomes impossible to ignore.
With their latest cut, the group continue to sharpen their compelling intersection of alt-rock, electronics and evocative storytelling.
