Magdalena Bay - What's In My Bag?

[@andrevitalpardue5097]

"Mercurial World" was such a breath of fresh air for synthpop. They are also INCREDIBLE live and such humble people. So glad they're getting more attention!

[@AlbPerNil]

Yeah it was one of my favourites of 2021, amazing feels

[@Scorpionloquendero77]

Question what artist synthpop you recomend me?

I appreciate that they wear their names on their shirts in case we forget which one is which.

yeah i was so confused which one is which

[@racaroon22]

These album choices explain Imaginal Disk's sound so well

[@drhall343]

One of the most underrated pop acts out there right now.

[@HarvestingThings]

Genuinely my favorite band to come out in the past decade. Their sound is so consistently unique.

They’re both gorgeous wtf

[@huiyu4724]

these guys are just the cutest and "merculiar world" is genuinely of the best albums i have ever listened to, i love them and their work so much.

[@alexoceallaigh4240]

The music from these guys is just pure ecstasy. Magdalena Bay best find for me the past few years

[@key-tg1ih]

I’m obsessed with mercurial world since it came out, it’s really cool to see they’re getting more attention

[@Peterrdee]

Ugh I love Kylie pls collab with her ICONIC

[@shaunhoward3166]

Kylie's great huh, her new album DISCO is sooo good 🤟👌👑🙏

[@josedanielrengifomartinez1776]

Love Thom Yorke's "Tomorrow's Modern Boxes" because of its vibes as well! Such an underrated album!

[@jztouch]

I love that Mica pulled out Kylie right away because they’ve always reminded me of a diy Kylie and I love they had Art of Noise and Yellow Magic Orchestra too. They obviously love music a lot and have really delved into the history of it. And gosh they have such a nice energy together. What a cute couple and an absolutely genius musical duo. Love their new album Imaginal Disc!

[@maryfreegirl2029]

Omg the matching shirts ahah They're very chill, I like them

[@reddkard]

I like how diverse your musical preferences are .

[@magicpesto]

Knowing Matt has now listened to "Reckoning" and feeling like this will influence their music in the future is a real sweet feeling.

[@gabeshepperd]

I really like Mica's choices. She has excellent taste.

[@TaraTara-ld2xb]

I just started listening to their music a couple days ago. Already obsessed. ❤

[@heyyitskatherinee]

The anime edit to killshot (slowed + reverb) hahahahah i cant

[@sardonyx]

I'd like to thank magdalena bay for giving me a bunch of new stuff to listen to 🙏

[@johnbrooke6867]

Really cool to get a glimpse of who these two awesome artists are. I love seeing artists appreciating other artists and seeing a little bit behind the curtain, in general. I like them more if anything. I wish I could afford to purchase vinyls not to mention have the space for a mother load of them. It's good to be reminded that some albums deserve a full listen and were actually made to be enjoyed that way. I hope Matt and Mica are working an another album and that they don't feel trapped by the synth-pop genre or people's expectations. Keep doing what resonates with you even as it evolves!

[@BrianBaileyedtech]

They Might Be Giants was one of my fav all time bands back in the day. They are awesomely innovative and talented - just like you guys!! Art of Noise = awesome. YMO! I was just listening to them on my flight to Tokyo recently. Ahead of Their Time. Yes, I grew up in a great musical period of experimentation.

[@Gobbledi_Gook]

Wow I just became mildly to severely obsessed with this band, so cool to see her pick up a Slothrust record. One of my fav bands!

[@wolfinthesnow2865]

Like their catalog on spotify. Never listened to a lot of synth pop but now I'm hooked. I get a weird feeling of nostalgia when I listen to magdalena bay. Like all the bands and artists I listened to when I was in between middle and high school in the early 2000's and my musical tastes were changing are contained within magdalena bay's whole vibe. They truly love a particular kind of sound which is beautiful in a very lynchian way while also containing musical Easter eggs from the forgotten sounds of yesteryear. In their sound I hear everything from brittany spears to Radiohead to some sounds that I cant quite place but feel so familiar it's a little disturbing that I cannot place them. Like a memory of something that only ever existed in your imagination. Anyways, very creative music, love it and cant wait to hear more from M.B.

[@SirWolf2018]

I love that Kylie Minogue's album was selected too! She had some impressive songs in the past that defined my childhood. Some are not on the album, but check out "Where Is the Feeling?" (the remixed version from the music video) and "Butterfly", for instance.

[@noahbrunner1358]

Never heard of these guys until I saw them open for George Clanton last year, they put on a great show. Also Flood by They Might Be Giants, what an excellent record to start with

[@MrVisde]

Cool picks. Never hear of this duo, need to check them out. I like their eclectic picks and how they honestly just said “I don’t know enough about this album but I’m looking forward to hearing more”.

[@skyriminspace]

I found that weird. As if they weren't actually aware of their own musical influences. Maybe they'd just never stopped to consider it before.

[@idontwantachannelname]

I like their honesty too. Like they aren’t just there to show off but actually to discover new stuff

[@kdcndw1]

Finally a band that mentions (sort of) Saint Etienne!

[@KazmirRunik]

5:15 I like the idea that she just sees rainbows upside down, it feels very in-tune with their art

[@Burlaphen]

Glad you know about art of noise and yellow magic.

[@calamariikid]

Revisiting this video now that Imaginal Disk is out. Starting with Flood 🔥

[@cincqued]

[@paulsandor3522]

Reckoning is my favorite album by REM. Harborcoat, Pretty Persuasion etc. You're gonna love it!

[@Gilbeezyskit]

Thanks to Mica discovering Slothrust, I just discovered them too. This band rules!

[@HippieCzar]

Great band with great taste… David lunch and king crimson!

[@dreamlarking]

Thanks to Noah Caldwell-Gervais for recommending this duo; they make the finest, most compelling synth-pop music I've heard in a long time. I'm not surprised to see that they have such great taste.

[@zensei999]

Wow, nice one. I've been playing the new Yeule and Mercurial World recently when I go to the gym including this morning.

[@tylersquanto8938]

[@slayyyter4686]

Mica was serving face in this video omg

[@ricferr6945]

Mica is so sweet and beautiful !!

[@Martel4]

My favorite artist I discovered in 2022. It's so funny to watch them from a generation before loving a lot of the same types of music and movies. I remember being that age and being so open to different styles and experiences. I'm not even that much older but it's interesting to see the similarities to my life 10 to 15ish years ago.

[@limpicatto]

Oh, I love you guys so much.

[@auggie532]

I was waiting for them to show up!!!

[@bdjallday9994]

cool, me personally I carry a star plastic Mako 3 midrange for all my straight shots, and for distance I use a Valkyrie fairway driver. For shot shaping shots, I like to use a Teebird, but always putt with my Innova invaders, especially a beaded one when putting inside 40 feet

[@audiotwisty812]

That's funny. Magdalena Bay popped up in my recommendations after listening to Rydeen by Yellow Magic Orchestra :) Also I've been looking for song "Moments in Love" for almost 20 years so thank you! Also "Red" by King Crimson is amazing, only five (long) songs and all killer!

[@dinosaursr]

Eclectic choices. Nice couple.

[@franklinfarwell1984]

It’s so cool now they’re both a couple of Prog nerds like me!! You can definitely hear it in the new album!

[@mantaramg60]

That outro riff is chills

[@dinarkhayrutdinov7663]

OK, Matt enjoying Emerson, Lake and Palmer and King Crimson somehow weirdly makes 100% sense

[@deeg8849]

That’s REMs best album in my view

[@drew2789]

i love how most people are picking out their favourite records and these guys are like "the artwork looks cool. Never heard of the artist or this record but its mine now"

[@thrillington2008]
