With ‘Wounds’, British producer and artist Good Spells offers another tightly crafted entry in his growing catalog of alt and dark pop releases. The single, released April 2 via his own imprint Magic Not Music, explores the quiet violence of self-sacrifice, how far we go to shield others, even when it breaks us in the process.

‘Haunting, Introspective, Elegant.’

Where earlier tracks have leaned into cinematic textures and dense atmospheres, Wounds finds its strength in restraint. The production is sharp and deliberate, creating a tension that mirrors the lyrical theme. Synths pulse like distant sirens, and there’s a sense of controlled unraveling throughout, a feeling that something is being held together by sheer will. It’s less about spectacle and more about tension, the kind you carry in your chest long after the track ends.
