This song came from a real moment in the woods that stayed with them long after they got home.

On episode 51 of B-Side Breakdown, DPFKS break down “Magnetic Rock,” a song rooted in emotional exhaustion, connection, and a surreal experience on Minnesota’s Gunflint Trail that became the emotional center of the track. The conversation moves through the band’s pandemic-era formation, their attempt to merge rock songwriting with electronic and experimental textures, and how this song became the clearest representation of what they wanted DPFKS to be. They also dig into building songs collaboratively through synths, modular electronics, and live instrumentation, the challenge of translating that process to the stage, and the intentionally immersive approach behind So Much Love to Give — including handmade screen-printed vinyl packaging, visuals, and even a DPFKS video game.
