Sour Magic Unveils Seductive & Dancy New Single “Chocolate and Shrooms” Ahead of The Hive Album Release

Sour Magic returns with “Chocolate and Shrooms,” a sultry indie-rock single dripping with psychedelic flair. This genre-blending track that fuses seductive grooves with trippy atmospherics invites listeners into a world of temptation and transcendence, pairing wet guitar riffs and hypnotic basslines with smoky, alluring vocals and harmonies. Chocolate & Shrooms will be accompanied by a full-length visionary video shot at the Hi-Dive, a legendary Denver venue. It stars Kate Fern of May Be Fern, and features cameos from many other Denver bands like Shadow Work, Moonlight Bloom, and Rug Burn. The track was recorded and mixed by veteran engineer Taylor Hahn (Hahn Audio), giving it a polished production that still captures the band’s raw, live energy.

Set to release June 13th 2025, upcoming album The Hive finds Sour Magic exploring the intricate world of bee society as a metaphor for human experience. Each track on The Hive carries a thematic thread from the life of the hive – from the perspective of queens, drones, and worker bees, and the hive that surrounds them – resulting in a rich psychedelic narrative. “Chocolate and Shrooms” is a prime example of this creative evolution, delivering an intoxicating story and sound that ties into the album’s concept while standing strong as a radio-ready single. The Hive also marks a new era for the band with the introduction of a new lead singer. Eliseo Salinas, who joined Sour Magic in late 2023, injects fresh energy and soulful vocal firepower into the group. His dynamic range and guitar prowess have elevated the band’s sound to new heights on this record, which builds on Sour Magic’s indie-psych roots with added depth and maturity.

Sour Magic has been steadily rising in the Colorado music scene. Formed in 2021, the band released their debut album Forbidden Fruit in 2023 to local acclaim, spawning singles like “Seasons” and “High Tide” that garnered buzz on Colorado radio stations, festivals, and across streaming platforms.

The addition of Salinas catalyzed a prolific creative period, yielding high-energy singles like “Elevator” and the unrequited lovers’ ballad “Black Roses” in 2024. The band’s momentum has led to high-profile shows – including immersive sets at Meow Wolf and a featured Friday night slot at Denver’s Underground Music Showcase (UMS) – that have cemented their reputation for electrifying live performances. In recognition of their impact, CPR’s Indie 102.3 named Sour Magic one of the Top 10 Colorado Acts of 2023, underscoring the buzz around this dynamic band.

“Chocolate and Shrooms” is poised to amplify that buzz even further. Sour Magic welcomes media outlets, radio programmers, and playlist curators to feature the track and join in celebrating its release. The band is available for interviews, in-studio sessions, and performance opportunities to support the single and the forthcoming The Hive album.
