More about: The Magic Band

The Magic Gang have brought those Northern Soul horns back for their latest single ahead of Death of the Party, which will now arrive at the tailend of August. 'Make Time For Change' is a mental health-advocating uplifter.

They're really some of the most radiant indie songwriters, aren't they? On 'Make Time For Change', The Magic Gang step the game up again with fresh, soulful guitar joy. It's a relatable song, too: "I said to myself: you've got to exercise more" the gang sing as they list off all the things to do for better mental health.

The accompanying animated visuals are equally soul-warming: caterpillars transform, flowers jive and ladybirds spin in a primary coloured utopia. See it:

Songwriter Gus Taylor said: “‘Make Time For Change’ is a song about self-care. It’s a reminder to look after yourself and to encourage yourself to do the things that make you feel good.”

It's the latest single taken from forthcoming album Death of the Party, which has had its release date pushed back.
