Taken from their second LP Future Former Self, 'Mad Magic' is the brilliantly, sunny new single from CHAPPO. The New York-based outfit fuse funky, Nile Rogers-nodding guitar lines with gently crunching, bombastic bass to create their smile-inducing, foot-tapping indie rock. Complete with suitably kaleidoscopic visuals, this beautifully infectious new release leans towards psych while maintaining its infectious, poppy hue and completely moreish feel. Having supported the likes of Imagine Dragons and The Flaming Lips, CHAPPO are building a loyal and rambunctious live following, and now the four-piece are now set for dates across Europe, including The Great Escape and Dot To Dot. It may be a little mad it may be, but it's a whole lot magical. -G.O'B
