Following the release of their 2025 record The Hart, Grayscale just revamped LP track “Some Kind Of Magic” with help from indie pop trio Smallpools. Previously, Grayscale reinvented tracks from the album, including “Kept Me Alive” with Slowly Slowly’s Ben Stewart and “Summer Clothes” with Games We Play and Trella.

Grayscale shares, “For ‘Some Kind Of Magic,’ we tapped into some of our favorite 80s bands that our parents always had playing around the house growing up. After months of reworking it and continually speeding up the tempo, we finally landed on an upbeat song that feels like ‘The Cure on cocaine.’ Our friends in Smallpools were the immediate choice for the feature, one of our favorite 80s-inspired alt bands ever. We totally reworked the song together to give it a different feel, and we absolutely love it.”

Check out the stunning, 80s-inspired, reimagined “Some Kind Of Magic” here.

Beginning this week, you can catch Grayscale on tour with Our Last Night throughout North America. Then, the band will hop across the pond to play venues in Europe and the UK in November. Check out the full list of dates below and grab your tickets here.
