So glad you had the album on loop, most people miss that touch! Definitely check out more from them, Mini Mixes 1 - 3, Mecurial World Deluxe songs, and even their new lead single from their new album, Death and Romance, which just came out!
Magdalena bay is so underrated!! So glad you’re reacting to this! Also have to say I love your reactions, you have such a fun warm personality and I love how you break down the sounds and lyrics!
I really hope you will listen to their new album Imaginal Disk ! It's like (already) the best album of the decade and one of my favourite albums of all time ! I'm not even kidding, the concept, the lyricism, the vocals, and the creativity is even better on Imaginal Disk ! The production was already fantastic on Mercurial World, but the creativity of the compositions of Imaginal Disk really boosted the quality of the production! I am already glad that you reacted to their debut LP, and I really love when you describe the emotional, colourful landscapes that you feel and see when you dive into the details of the sounds you hear, truly fabulous! And I don't want to pressure you to listen to Imaginal Disk but I feel like it is so rare that something has that amount of quality to it, and I feel like people who enjoy music should give this album a try!
This is considered their debut album, but they put out a lot of music before Mercurial World. Their previous uh... album/EP/collection of songs A Little Rhythm and a Wicked Feeling is also great. Potentially my favorite song by the, Only If You Want It, was released on its own before that.
YAY i loved this album and i’m so happy you did too! If it’s something you think you’ll revisit on your own time, I highly recommend checking out the deluxe version of this album! it’s really unique how it adds a couple new songs + completely remixes/reimagines others sprinkled throughout the tracklist. plus the song “all you do” is so great :)
Thank you for your reaction it was super cool! They are one of my favorite bands! Nice that album looped for you just by chance, I was readying myself to point that it does so :D my fav is Chaeri, I thint it may be about friend not realising (or not wanting to) their mistakes hurt a loved one I recommend to you another band with similar vibe - Night Tapes, it also gives Grimes
When I first listened to it I knew you'd love it. So happy to finally see a reaction and that I was right on my assumption. This album definitely has me now keeping a keen eye on Magdalena Bay. So excited to see what else they give us ✨️
You summoned them to make a new song "death and romance" lol. it sounds so good. also if you liked this you should listen to civilization by kero kero bonito, its pretty similar
You should totally listen to their 3 mini mixes. It shows their growth as song writers really well as 2 were out before this album and the 3rd one came out after it ❤ would love to see a reaction, but if not, even just listening to it would be awesome, lol
They made great music before this first album Airplane, Oh hell, Ghost, Venice, Neon, Drive along, Money lover, Good intentions, Waking Up, Killshot, Mini mixes 1-2-3
love this album! i listened to it earlier this year and it went straight into my top albums list; magdalena bay build and create songs that feel like a world of their own with so much personality.
I found one song from them years back (you loose) and some weeks ago I also started listening to dreamcacher and haven’t deep dived the album but it’s so good also I love killshoot
