In late 2008 the band signed to indie label Bright Antenna and released their first EP, Magic Love & Dreams recorded in New York City with producer John Hil (Santigold/Lykke Li) in 2009. In a review in Prefix Magazine the album was scored 7/10 and reviewer Matthew Richardson wrote that, "the whole EP is covered with the cosmic haze of dream-pop, while the Valentines maintain the attitude of punk kids." Their dreamy pop gems won them touring spots alongside The Kills, The Horrors, The Raconteurs, The Black Keys, as well as appearances at SXSW and Lollapalooza.
On February 17th 2010, the MP3 blog, RCRD LBL, released a download of the track, Warrior remixed by The xx.
The Wands' debut LP Aloha Moon was released on April, 24th 2012. The announcement was made in an article on the website of the magazine SPIN along with a stream of the previously unreleased track Space. The reviewer, David Marchese, wrote that the track was, "... a sexy and propulsive stunner...a really cool song, suggestive of the darker side of '80s pop and brighter side of falling in love." Session drummer, Cary LaScala, recorded drums on the album.
A studio album Abrakadabra was released in 2018. In 2019 they re-released their 2012 album Aloha Moon under the new name Aloha Moon 2019.

Magic Wands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleep in the skies
Stars in the sea
These are dreams of mine
I fall at your feet
Summer nights in space
Beams and beams of light
A love beyond belief
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
In an ordinary world
Oh oh oh oh oh
Fly through the sky
Feeling your heat
Beams and beams of light
A love beyond belief
And I won't ever wake up from this dream
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
In an ordinary world
Say we'll always be together
Say this love will last forever
Say we'll always be together
Say this love will last forever
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
In an ordinary world
Oh oh oh oh oh
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
I fell in love
The lyrics of Magic Wands’ song “Space” describe a dreamlike state where the singer is surrounded by celestial elements, such as the stars and the sky. They describe this as completing them, suggesting that they feel a certain sense of belonging or fulfillment in these surroundings. The lines “Beams and beams of light, A love beyond belief” indicate an overpowering feeling of love that may be inspired by the vastness and beauty of the cosmos.
The refrain of “I fell in love, in an ordinary world” suggests that the singer feels that their experience is not a typical reality, but rather a fantastical one that they have stumbled upon. The final three lines of the song, “Say we'll always be together, Say this love will last forever / Say we'll always be together, Say this love will last forever / I fell in love, In an ordinary world” reiterate the desire to hold onto this transcendent experience and the hope that it can be preserved forever.
Overall, the lyrics evoke a sense of awe-inspiring wonder, where the singer is influenced and awestruck by the vastness of space and the power of their love.

To say that this is the most haunting and downright ethereal song I've heard all year would be a huge understatement.

There music has such a new wave, alternative and grunge sound from the 80's and 90's style. Love their sound! Keep it up Magic Wands :)
