Experimental art-punk outfit Magnolia shares new single ‘Five Hundred’
Norwich art-punk collective Magnolia continues to redefine experimental post-rock with their latest release, ‘Five Hundred,’ out now via Shake! Shake! Records.
‘Five Hundred’ is a sonic journey of contrasts, weaving tranquil melodies with explosive bursts of chaos. Magnolia’s signature style—combining sharp riffs, haunting saxophone, and a tempestuous rhythm section—pays homage to influences like Black Midi and Opus Kink while pushing boundaries into uncharted territory. Originally written early in the band’s formation, the track showcases their commitment to sonic innovation.
Bassist and vocalist Adam Turner reflects on the lyrics:
“‘Five Hundred’ was written early in our time together as a band, with minor changes since. The lyrics overall don’t have any major personal meaning to me, it’s a sort of story or journey about a rather emotionally dark subject, yet one I have only observed rather than experienced. That being said, there are a few lines which hold greater relevance than others and can be put to any situation and taken into different interpretations making it more widely resonant.”
As Magnolia prepares for performances at Norwich’s Voodoo Daddy’s and London’s Dream Bags Jaguar Shoes, ‘Five Hundred’ serves as a thrilling glimpse into the future of a band unafraid to embrace chaos and creativity in equal measure.
