MAGDALENA BAY MAKES LATE NIGHT T.V. DEBUT ON “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!” WITH “IMAGE”

SOPHOMORE ALBUM IMAGINAL DISK OUT NOW TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM VIA MOM+POP MUSIC

October 31, 2024—Last night, acclaimed duo Magdalena Bay made their late night T.V. debut on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” with a performance of their hit track “Image”—watch HERE.

“Image,” which was recently reworked by Grimes and continues to accumulate hundreds of thousands of streams daily, is taken from Magdalena Bay’s critically acclaimed sophomore album, Imaginal Disk, released in August via Mom+Pop Music—get it HERE. Written and produced in full by Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin, Imaginal Disk features singles “That’s My Floor,” “Tunnel Vision” and “Death & Romance” and follows the story of True, played by Tenenbaum, after she receives a consciousness upgrade in the form of an “imaginal disk” inserted into her forehead.

Critical acclaim for Imaginal Disk…

“This record improves upon the last one in nearly every way—it can be dreamy, it can be slightly skuzzy, it is often sort of just a bit askew, but it also feels self-contained within a little snow globe imagining its own world...this record sounds like a group that has discovered exactly what they want their songs to do and how to get them to do it.”—NPR Music

“In the current pop landscape, there are few acts as exciting—or as remarkably consistent—as Magdalena Bay...Imaginal Disk is nothing if not a window into the minds of two weird and wonderful geniuses at work.”—Vogue

“Few groups are making as inventive, catchy pop music as Magdalena Bay…Their music, often narrative-based and paired with equally stunning visuals, excels in tension, pairing gossamer-sounding production with dark lyrics.”—Vulture

“These songs take twists and turns that mirror the futuristic bent of the lyrics, and it’s immediately memorable despite its thrilling unpredictability. The Miami-bred, Los Angeles-based musicians double down on their ideas here, and it’s refreshing to hear glimmering pop music that is this unafraid of itself, carving its own singular path.”—Stereogum

“a wide, swirling, hazy record that ventures between heady psych trips and funky, lilty pop songs...With Imaginal Disk, Magdalena Bay are pushing themselves out of their comfort zone.”—Paste Magazine

“this new synth-heavy sound feels more playful and bouncy, crafting new otherworldly limits in their own little electro-pop world.”—V Magazine

“supremely enjoyable”—Consequence

 Additionally, the band is gearing up for a run of sold-out European and U.K. tour dates following their sold-out, 21-date headline Imaginal Mystery Tour last month in North America—see full tour routing below and get tickets HERE.

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.
