Alt-pop duo joan are back with their new single “magic,” a track that explores the fleeting nature of bliss. Written and produced by members Alan Benjamin Thomas and Steven Rutherford, the song marks their first release since the 2023 album superglue.
The song, out now via Photo Finish Records, captures the surreal sensation of a perfect moment, questioning when the dreamlike present will end and what awaits in the future. Describing it as a romanticization of “this beautifully boring life,” the band reflects on how neither joy nor hardship lasts forever. The release follows recent singles “heartbodymindsoul” and “eyes,” with the duo continuing to create from their home studio in Little Rock, AR.
