Suited for the times, Magdalena Bay blends the known and felt with innovative sonic landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenenbaum and Lewin met as teenagers in a Miami high school music program. Tenenbaum, who moved from Buenos Aires to Florida at age one, and Lewin, a guitar shredder influenced by his dad's prog and concept rock records, quickly recognized their kindred spirits. They formed a prog band called \u003cstrong\u003eTabula Rasa\u003c\/strong\u003e and began a romance. Both were skilled musicians; Tenenbaum a pianist and singer, and Lewin self-taught in production and music theory. Despite attending different colleges, they maintained their band, traveling hours to rehearse before realizing two things: their relationship was undeniable, and prog rock wasn't resonating with young audiences. Shifting their focus to pop, they explored its craft, leading to the creation of Magdalena Bay.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey learned the complexities of pop writing and production, striving to create something interesting within the genre. Describing their music broadly as \"pop,\" they released several EPs and singles before debuting their album, \"\u003cem\u003eMercurial World\u003c\/em\u003e,\" in 2021. Praised for its melodic hooks and meticulous production, it was often labeled as \"synth-pop.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir success is reflected in streaming numbers, social media followers, and festival appearances. Magdalena Bay's stylized online aesthetic complements their music, creating a cohesive artistic vision. Tenenbaum says, \"We love extending the world of our music past sound into videos or graphics.\" Lewin adds, \"We're trying to create an atmosphere or an emotional quality with it.\" This integrated approach, termed \"world-building,\" is central to their artistry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mom + Pop","offers":[{"title":"2LP - Gatefold Black Vinyl","offer_id":48999656620377,"sku":"SDZ-22246","price":45.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/Magdalena_Bay_-_Imaginal_Disk_-_2024.jpg?v=1721665214","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/magdalena-bay-imaginal-disk","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
