RIP Magic Sign to Section1 and Release New Single 'Screwdark'

The Partisan sister label gives the fast-rising London group wider reach.

Overview

  • The London quartet, which announced the Section1 signing Wednesday, issued “Screwdark” as its first release for the label.
  • Section1 is a Los Angeles-based sister label to Partisan Records with a roster that includes King Princess and Sword II.
  • A Velcro-directed video uses fast-cut tour footage to introduce the new track.
  • The group formed last year around Sorry’s Marco Pini with Felix Bayley-Higgins, Beth Boswell-Knight, and Pedro Takahashi.
  • The new push follows January’s DFA 12-inch “5words,” produced by James Murphy in his first outside-artist studio job in over a decade, as the band opens Tame Impala’s sold-out UK and Europe arena tour.
