Somewhere in the ether of our collective social cosmos floats the magical pop music of Magdalena Bay, the synthpop duo from Los Angeles consisting of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin. Although the duo considers California home, they say their true home is in the clouds, from which they broadcast unique but familiar frequencies of synthesized nostalgia, kitsch, and bombastically distorted neohooks. The duo met as teenagers in a music program at high school in Miami. What began as a prog band and a romance, grew through endless bus rides and musical detours into Magdalena Bay: a project that borrows as much from Britney Spears as from Genesis, and in which pop is approached as something fluid and constantly changing. With their debut album 'Mercurial World,' they established themselves as distinctive voices within electronic pop, loved for their playful video work, digital aesthetic, and smart compositions. On the new album 'Imaginal Disk,' the duo reportedly sounds looser, freer, and more experimental. The record was largely recorded at home and mixed by Dave Fridmann (including MGMT, Tame Impala), and shows a Magdalena Bay that follows less formula and trusts more on its own intuition.
