After releasing a video for their new single "Chakra Daemon" last month, Foreign Air is back with a gritty new single "Loud Magic."

The track arrived Friday and it comes ahead of the band's tour with Bishop Briggs, which launches next week. And according to the rising duo, the new song was partly inspired by Michael Jordan—yes, really.

"I grew up watching the Bulls as a kid in the 90’s," singer Jesse Clasen says. "I had giant inspirational posters of him on my wall. I wanted to capture that spirit in the chorus, that moment when the score is tied, you’re exhausted, and you just put up the last shot at the buzzer."
