A transatlantic indie dance torch-passing, from Brooklyn to Hackney: LCD Soundsystem legend and DFA Records host James Murphy emerges from the woodwork with one of his first non-LCD productions in over a decade, ushering the talents of one fast-driving, disillusioning London band: RIP Magic. The choice of devisee is tasteful: they were already bubblers of the post-COVID moment and now consist in sceneblazers Marco Pini, Felix Bayley-Higgins, Beth Knight and Pedro Takahashi. Now with Pini (Sorry, Glows, Slow Dance) taking the primary vocal reins, '5words' is a pumping medley of vrooming guitars and succinct, embroiled lyrics. "I said five words, I'm living in it now": here's deep creative involution, a rubicon successfully crossed.
