Sour Magic Releases Tropical Surf Single “Silver Sands” Ahead of The Hive Album Release
Embedded Files
Denver psych-rock staple, Sour Magic, continues building anticipation for their upcoming 2025 concept album The Hive with the shimmering new single “Silver Sands” — a sun-drenched blend of psychedelic surf rock, tambourines, claps, and dreamy vocals that captures the euphoria of summer infatuation.
A breezy departure from the band’s darker textures, “Silver Sands” delivers a laid-back rhythm soaked in tropical charm. With twangy guitars, beachy percussion, and hypnotic vocal lines, the track paints a vivid picture of longing and enchantment — the story of a fleeting romance on a seaside vacation, where the mysterious pull of a warmly charming person becomes impossible to resist. Produced and mixed by veteran engineer Taylor Hahn (Hahn Audio), “Silver Sands” glows with polished clarity while preserving the band’s signature vintage warmth.
Set to release June 13th, 2025, The Hive explores the intricate world of bee society as a metaphor for human experience. Each song offers a narrative from the hive — through the eyes of queens, drones, and workers — forming a lush, psychedelic tapestry of sound and story. “Silver Sands” brings a sunny moment of escapism to the album’s larger vision, showing the band’s range while keeping their dreamy psych-pop heart intact.
Sour Magic has steadily risen through Colorado’s music scene since their 2021 debut. Their first full-length, Forbidden Fruit (2023), received regional acclaim, with singles like “Seasons”
and “High Tide” gaining traction on Colorado radio, local festivals, and streaming playlists. With Salinas onboard, Sour Magic has reached new creative heights — resulting in fan-favorite tracks like “Chocolate & Shrooms” and the moody ballad “Black Roses.” Known for their immersive live sets, Sour Magic has performed at Meow Wolf and took a Friday night spotlight at Denver’s Underground Music Showcase (UMS). CPR’s Indie 102.3 named them one of the Top 10 Colorado Acts of 2023.
With “Silver Sands,” Sour Magic leans into surfy psychedelia while continuing to expand the universe of The Hive. The band invites press, radio, and playlist curators to feature the track and be part of the momentum ahead of the album release.
