Acuminatus Posted August 5 Posted August 5 Finally got around to listening to Tunnel Vision, and damn this really is going to be AOTY huh
Chemist Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Tunnel Vision is a masterpiece wtf. This album is going to be INCREDIBLE
Uncatena Posted August 9 Posted August 9 Tunnel Vision is very yeule-esque, we stan. this album can't come quick enough.
Kern Posted August 16 Posted August 16 There's a new snippet from "That's my floor!" on their insta. Also, there's this acrticle/interview: https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/interviews/magdalena-bay-want-to-defy-your-expectations
Kern Posted August 16 Posted August 16 I remember lines from "Image" that get me hunting down timestamps: the first chorus makes a reference to "22 more minutes." A minute later, the next chorus kicks in "21 more minutes." This feels like the initiation of a countdown. So I go to check what comes 22 minutes after that first chorus and "Image." It's that back-half breakdown in "Tunnel Vision" which leads into the album's next act. It's the reboot, the "brand new image." OH WOW

Kern Posted August 21 Posted August 21 I gotta be honest, I'm not feeling this song that much like the other singles but the music video is sick af, especially the latest part with the clocks
masochizm Posted August 21 Posted August 21 4/4… incredible songs so far… this really could be my AOTY
pink lightning Posted August 22 Posted August 22 This was also a great review with description of some tracks! https://northerntransmissions.com/magdalena-bay-imaginal-disk/ Quote "The tropical-pop cut "Killing Time" starts like a cute walk on the beach, lamenting about love's privacy ("I don't care if I don't sleep / But someone better pine for me, yeah / Without love I'm without me"), counting down the days in search of romance. But suddenly it turns and devilish voices spring up to chant the wickedly catchy: "I'm looking in the mirror and swallowing the key / It only takes a minute to forget a week," half playful taunt and half genuine, existential questioning of the fabric of time." That already made my most anticipated song Quote It wouldn't be a surprise to say that Magdalena Bay are two of the most creative people working in music today. With their second album, they've surpassed their first in terms of originality and sonic landscaping — though Imaginal Disk might not be full of as many pop tunes, it's certainly an artistic evolution as Tenenbaum and Lewin's writing and production shines at every corner. Period!! Quote In the antithesis to Katy Perry's desperate and continuously botched roll-out for her album, Imaginal Disk's three pre-release singles are all contenders for Song of the Summer, ridiculously idiosyncratic and conceptually unique. And Katy even catching strays here
