Magdalena Bay’s sophomore LP Imaginal Disk was released one year ago on August 23. In celebration of the anniversary, the band has teased the release of the long-awaited album movie.
Directed by Amanda Kramer and written and edited by the band’s Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin, the film elaborates on the world of the album. Magdalena Bay revealed elements of the story in the videos for “Death & Romance,” “Image” and “That’s My Floor,” as well as in their performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and on the road on the Imaginal Mystery Tour. Further details of the film and its release are forthcoming.
“On this day, the anniversary of the record, we’d like to formally announce and acknowledge the existence of a full album movie,” says the group. “Surely our most ambitious undertaking thus far, this thing will be done at some point… soon… and we will share more information imminently.”
Written and produced in full by Tenenbaum and Lewin, Imaginal Disk was released to critical acclaim last year via Mom+Pop Music. The album found Magdalena Bay selling out every date of their North American and European/U.K. headline tours.
The group continues on the road with further headline dates and festival performances across North America in September. Stops include Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery, Austin City Limits, III Points Festival, Atlanta’s Coca-Cola Roxy, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway and more.

Magdalena Bay is the duo consisting of Mica Tenenbaum (vocals, producer, songwriter) and Matthew Lewin (producer, songwriter). The two first met at an after-school music program in Miami where they grew up, bonding over shared musical influences and eventually starting a prog rock band Tabula Rasa. That band broke up, but when Tenenbaum and Lewin crossed paths again in college, they reconnected with the goal of making something closer to pop music that blends retro and futuristic elements under the moniker Magdalena Bay.
They released a series of EPs leading up to their critically acclaimed debut album, Mercurial World, in 2021 and went on to sell out their multiple headline tours, play numerous festivals around the world—including Coachella and Lollapalooza, tour with Billie Eilish, Charli xcx, Caroline Polachek, Flume and collaborate with Grimes, Lil Yachty, JIHYO, Blu DeTiger and more.
