littlepotter 75,147 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 My new favorite synth pop band Magdalena Bay just released their first album, Mercurial World, and it's an amazing journey from start to finish. 46 minutes of dreampop sprinkled with a retro video game vibe and impeccable production, that all meshes and transitions into each other, give it a chance! Take a listen here: The highlights for me are the title track, You Lose!, Something for 2 and its transition into Chaeri (my song of the year), and The Beginning (last track), which loops straight into The End (first track!) ARTV just posted a review an gave a perfect score: If you already listened let me know your thoughts! chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperobject 66,771 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Something for 2 and The Beginning are definitely my faves on first listen, not sure about other tracks. But i love how smooth all of the transitions are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaney 5,515 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 So I was iffy about most of the album at first but god damn it grew on me. Dreamcatching is so good. God I love them so much. I actually get to meet them on the 19th because i'm seeing them live! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentum 1,682 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 yas i don't know how i missed this release. I found out this morning and been listening on repeat "Δεν είσαι αγάπη.

QueenMortuana 1,199 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Ah so glad there's a post for this. I was too lazy to look for or create one lol. Soooo I love this album. Such great influences on it and it has sounds that fit into such different times of music. The transitions are also wonderful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it was instant love but I'm still finding things to love about it. So happy you get to see them, have fun!!! I hope I get to one day. 4 hours ago, bleach cake said: anything like Killshot Hmm, not sure there's anything that straightforward pop. But you will definitely find at least a couple of songs you'll like. Did you try any songs I recommended? chaeri pls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
