about

Magnetic Heads’ first single The Street is a cheery pop banger with streaks of melancholy running down its face. “It’s about the alienation we've all experienced. When COVID came around the song took on a very literal meaning,” he says. Miller holds out hope. “I’m so enamoured by the possibility of community, our capacity to assemble. It’s why we love theatre, live music, dancing. Despite my moments of despair, I’m a tragic optimist.”

 The Street’s film clip was shot in cinematic 4k by director Andrew Lancaster (keyboard player for Custard). The clip sees an inquisitive and creative little boy meet a lonely soul (Julie-Ann Long) living in a caravan. “We worked with a really cool kid, Billy Westbury. His dad has a hobby of painting miniatures, Billy is a dancer. We put a fantastical realist lens on their life It’s about an unusual friendship,” he says, zooming out from 2020, the most unusual year of all. “I'm just happy there is an album after all this time.”
