Right now, there are tons of artists making the type of noisy, hooky guitar music Opal Mag does, but not all of them successfully find the sweet spot between Smashing Pumpkins&#8217; distorted riffs and the Sundays&#8217; effervescent jangles.

The song captures the realization of a relationship fated to end, having wasted both people\u2019s time.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"\/><p><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Listen to &#8220;Wasting&#8221; below.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wasting\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cbXsNWS5mzg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source stereogum.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With singles like this year&#8217;s &#8220;Kitchen Song&#8221; and &#8220;I Don\u2019t Like You, But I Love You,&#8221; Brighton-based musician Opal Mag has posited herself as a promising new voice of the &#8217;90s indie rock revival.
