Mercurial World Deluxe will be released on September 23rd, 2022.
Los Angeles-based electro indie-pop duo Magdalena Bay-a.k.a. Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin-released their long-awaited debut album, Mercurial World, at the end of 2021 to mass critical acclaim.
They debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top New Artist and Alternative New Artists charts (and made top 20 in Heatseekers, Current Alternative Albums, Independent Current Albums, and Current Rock Albums!), opened for the likes of Charli XCX, Flume and Porter Robinson, sold out headline shows internationally, and earned countless accolades on 'Best Of' year-end lists. Now the band returns with the announcement of Mercurial World Deluxe.
One of the most irresistible, refreshing and exciting pop records of 2021 gets reimagined on Mercurial World Deluxe. The album was entirely written, produced, performed, mixed and mastered by Magdalena Bay, and now features some new songs, remixes, alternative versions of album tracks, orchestral arrangements and some surprises for fans.
"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 some special secrets," the band explain. " When we started working on the Deluxe, we wanted it to flow like the original album did. These secrets tie the record together in a cool way, we can't wait for everyone to hear it."
To celebrate the Deluxe announcement, Magdalena Bay announce a U.S. headline tour, and share the first taste of the reworked record. "Chaeri" receives a remix courtesy of Danny L Harle, who has written and produced for the likes of Charli XCX, Caroline Polachek, Clairo, Rina Sawayama, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lil Uzi Vert, and more.
Magdalena Bay just performed at Pitchfork Festival in Chicago this past weekend, and have a new U.S. tour on-sale this week. See below to find a show near you, and get your tickets here.
