Dublin/Leipzig-based rock duo Bicurious have shared a new video for ‘Magic Marker’, a song taken from their new album Your Life is Over Now… released in October 2024 via their new home in Big Scary Monsters.

On ‘Magic Marker’, guitarist/vocalist Taran Plouzané comments: 

“To me, ‘Magic Marker’ is the ballad of the album. Even though it gets loud and heavy, it’s very emotional throughout, and the lyrics definitely play into that. Balancing being a musician and personal life has always been a challenge, since it’s such an all-consuming way of life. Of course we love doing it, but it sometimes means that certain aspects of our lives or certain relationships can suffer from it. That’s what the song is about.

“For the video, I thought of going back to the places where I grew up, places where I realised I wanted to become an artist, and just filming stuff. Then, I thought it might be cool to bring my kids along, and use them as a representation of me as a kid in that environment, if that makes sense. I also really wanted to capture the message I wrote on my bedroom wall as a kid – watch the video and read the lyrics and see if you get it! I think it’s an interesting video because in itself, it’s not really that interesting, or thrilling, from an outside perspective… But it aligns with the themes of the song in a very personal way, which I think might be interesting to see for some.”
