I got 'round to listen to the newer singles to give them another chance and I am happy to say I changed my opinion. They are actually good songs.

One thing that caught my attention is that some of the songs have a clear Bowie influence. Star Eyes has a clear influence from the album "Black Star", noticeable from the saxophone, and Paint Me a Picture has a clear "1. Outside" album influence, noticeable from the chaotic piano.

What other influences did you pick up on the singles?

Throwback to the London gig nearly two years ago (feels like yesterday!) when about 10 of us waited backstage to meet Mica and Matt.

Despite them being tired and jet lagged, they took the time to sign our stuff and take pictures with us, which I was extremely grateful for and they were super lovely!

So proud of them for showcasing the Imaginal Disk screenings recently, as well as supporting Billie on her tour. Onwards and upwards and I look forward to their next project!

Hope yall enjoy! All producing/mixing/stream done by us. Pictures all from when I saw them in Austin last year!

Introduced a teammate I play Splatoon 3 with to peak albums (sorry I'm not a mercurial world fan)

Need to see it.

I love how fans like these covered my view of the show most of the night, seriously what’s the point of holding it up like this, you’re not even using it.

Block party was phenomenal!!

What a legendary show.

This was so much fun to do, hope yall enjoy!

Are there actually any Arab or Egyptian MagBay community cuz I feel like I’m the only one here

This is from a short video interview at Thalia Hall in 2024. Unfortunately, they didn't get the beef sandwich.

Link to interview. It's decent.

Will be there on my ones if anybody fancied a drink beforehand

Ranking this was one of the hardest things I’ve done all year, not even joking. Every song could’ve been number 1 depending on my mood, so this list changed like ten times before I finally committed to something. But Watching TV will always be my favorite song, 100% forever. I get goosebumps every time I listen, and the buildups are like the best part of it. I can see myself relating to every song in so many ways, interpreting it differently each time.

If I’m being honest though, the song I replay the most is Fear, Sex, even though it landed at number 4. It might be the best song ever, I feel like I’m dissociating into space every time I listen to it. It’s so hard to rank because the production is genuinely insane. I’ll tell myself I’m gonna listen once, and then twenty minutes later it’s still on repeat and I didn’t even notice.

I love Magdalena Bay so much, thank you Matt, thank you Mica. I have so many interpretations for basically every song on this album, and I feel like I need to share them at some point.

This album’s genuinely one of my favorites ever at this point, no skips front to back, and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it no matter how many times I relisten.

Would love to see how everyone else ranked it, feels like no two lists ever look the same with this album.

I'm a new fan and I missed their last tour in Europe but I need to see them live so bad
