Magpies, the third single from new alt-folk duo Loa, is a song which explores the bend between freedom and isolation – the desire to belong and to escape. Swooping arpeggios and sampled field recordings weave into the rich, piano-driven texture, a signature of their sound. With play from BBC Radio 6 Music and playlist support across Apple and Spotify, Loa have already established themselves as an act to watch in 2024 on the alt-folk and contemporary jazz scene. They bring a lighter sound with Magpies, showcasing their unique blend of tender imagery and warm production.
