Magdalena Bay Debut “Unconditional”
Magdalena is comprised of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin, the Los Angeles duo, recently announced a deluxe reissue of their debut album Mercurial World, out September 23 on Luminelle Recordings. They have since released Danny L Harle’s remix of “Chaeri,” their own remix of Soccer Mommy’s “Shotgun,” and their first new single of 2022 with “All You Do.” Today they share another new track entitled “Unconditional,” alongside a self-directed video.
“We think of ‘Unconditional’ as ‘Secrets’ weird little cousin. Just like ‘All You Do,’ we loved it when we made it but it didn’t quite fit the flow of Mercurial World,” explain Magdalena Bay. As for the accompanying visual, they say: “This video is our dream birthday party, and you’re all invited.”
Magdalena Bay recently announced a Fall headline tour throughout the U.S., which kicks off later this month. Following festival performances at Pitchfork, Primavera and This Ain’t No Picnic, the band will also play Austin City Limits, Second Sky and Falls Festival in Australia later this year.
“The Deluxe is a mish mosh of sorts, an amalgamation of new songs that didn’t originally fit the flow of Mercurial World, of reimagined versions of existing album tracks by us and some talented remixers, plus fan messages. We’ve gotten hundreds of voice messages from fans since setting up our Secrets hotline last year. We’ve been quietly collecting and listening to these secrets… not in a creepy way but because we knew we wanted to use them in some way, but weren’t sure how to. When we started working on the Deluxe, we wanted it to flow like the original album did. The voicemails happened to work perfectly to tie together all the different elements of the record. We’ve brought our listeners into our world and love how their voices give the album new stories and meaning.”
