Living Hour release new single “Magnet,” the track is now available via Paper Bag Records (Piss, Art Decco) / Keeled Scales (Common Holly, Lunar Vacation). “Magnet” is the title-track of their forthcoming EP, a collection of b-sides and previously unearthed demos serving as a four-track companion to Someday is Today (2022), and their 2025 full-length, Internal Drone Infinity.

The bundle of phrases that make up the EP are from an incubation period of a lot of TV, projecting movies for work, and general dissociative activities. “I was thinking about how people are magnets if they want to be. Attracting what they think about most, interact with or watch on screens,” says lead singer and lyricist, Sam Sarty.

“Magnet” is pastoral and ambient, with layers of swelling glitchy guitar loops, e-bow, vibraphone, vocals drones, and plain spoken word poetry. Far away harmonies and vocalizing from Lindsey Verrill of Little Mazarn brings a ton of cosmic ear candy. “I started to think about all the rotted reality tv swirling around on a quantum level and where that stuff is stored in a head, all edited together, and how it switches up life in a way that feels cellular and tangible.” And of the EP as a whole, “The songs are a nice reminder to think we can focus on what we need from that soup of stuff and pull out the details we like and want to keep.”Sept 22 – Ottawa, ON – Fono 613
