MAGDALENA BAY UNVEILS NEW TRACK ‘TUNNEL VISION’
SOPHOMORE ALBUM IMAGINAL DISK OUT AUGUST 23 VIA MOM+POP MUSIC
BUY/STREAM: MAGDALENA BAY – TUNNEL VISION
PRE-SAVE: MAGDALENA BAY – IMAGINAL DISK LP
July 31, 2024—Acclaimed duo Magdalena Bay debuts a new track today, “Tunnel Vision”—listen HERE. The new song—written, composed and produced by the band—is the latest offering from Imaginal Disk, their sophomore album out August 23 via Mom+Pop Music—pre-save/pre-order it HERE.
Of the song, Magdalena Bay declare: “artificial intelligence won’t approximate humanity until it learns how to hate itself”
“Tunnel Vision” follows previous album offerings “Image,” which Rolling Stone praised as a “ a spaced-out dancefloor delight,” and “Death & Romance,” which Vulture praised as “kaleidoscopic,” while PAPER commended the duo for another “glassy, sprawling prog-pop odyssey that builds from a tightly wound jam into something seemingly designed to hit the back walls of stadiums.”
Both “Image” and “Death & Romance” provided a glimpse into the universe Magdalena Bay has created to accompany this album, which follows the story of True—played by the band’s Mica Tenenbaum—as she learns what it means to be human after receiving a consciousness upgrade in the form of an “imaginal disk” inserted into her forehead.
Additionally, the band will hit the road for The Imaginal Mystery Tour this fall, an extensive run of North American headline shows with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more—see full tour routing below and get tickets HERE.
Aside from last year’s EP, mini mix vol. 3, Imaginal Disk marks Magdalena’s Bay first full-length project since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album, Mercurial World, in 2021. Vulture praised the album as “one of 2021’s best pop statements,” while Pitchfork celebrated the duo’s “magic power” of sounding “like whatever you grew up with, whenever that was,” and PopMatters commended the album for “providing a blueprint for a new generation of electronic pop.”
Magdalena Bay is the Los Angeles by way of Miami duo consisting of Mica Tenenbaum (vocals, producer, songwriter) and Matthew Lewin (producer, songwriter). The two first met at an after-school music program in Miami where they grew up, bonding over shared musical influences and eventually starting a prog rock band Tabula Rasa. That band broke up, but when Tenenbaum and Lewin crossed paths again in college, they reconnected with the goal of making something closer to pop music that blends retro and futuristic elements under the moniker Magdalena Bay. They released a series of EPs leading up to their critically acclaimed debut album Mercurial World in 2021 and went on to sell out their first headlining tour, play numerous festivals around the world— including Coachella in 2023, tour with Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Flume and collaborate with Lil Yachty, JIHYO, Blu DeTiger and more.
