I was lucky enough to experience some of the most popular songs on the album on acid while dogfighting in warthunder. Truly, an experience. The distorted bass toward the end of the song is a fave in a 1v1 turn fight where the only way to survive is to remove the other pilot. 🫡👌

When I first discovered Magdalena Bay, I wasn't sure if I was gonna Magdalena stay, but upon letting the Magdalena play, it's safe to declare I'm 100% Magdalena cray. Their melodies and harmonies make my worries all Magdalena sway, in the meadows of their groovy tunes, I'll forever Magdalena lay!
Taking a wild guess - At 0:45 into the video, a 22 minute timer starts. The album is called "Imaginal Disk", and Imaginal Disc is defined on Wikipedia as "one of the parts of a holometabolous insect larva that will become a portion of the outside of the adult insect during the pupal transformation." According to the track listing this is track number 4 (of 15) so if we take the average pop song length of 3-5 minutes into account the 22 minute countdown will probably end at the start of track 10 "Love Is Everywhere"... The album will go through a "metamorphosis" of some sort which finishes at the end of that countdown, and it will be fucking sick
This album is simply incredible-a pure dopamine rush and refreshingly ambitious! It deserves to be album of the year...every year! A beautiful tapestry of beloved melodies, its evident influences weave together the best parts of my favorite songs since youth. A precious gift I'll share with my daughter as she crafts her own life's soundtrack. Thank you, Magdalena Bay, for restoring my faith in today's music. Tchau e obrigado! - Louis, Gringo guy in Brazil
and it really is psychedelic. i'm a veteran psychedelic user who has used acid and shrooms, in massive amounts for forty years. and yeah, i hate the grateful dead, that music is not psychedelic, this is...
From rewatching the two videos, here's what I can piece together of the story so far: The Imaginal Disk process is one that involves memory wiping (and possibly even false (imagined) memories), with the previous memories kept on one of these disks. Given the "mandatory" notices on the side, it's unknown if Mica's character (presumably named "True") chose to do this process voluntarily or not, but essentially The Doctor wipes her memory, creating a newer, lighter version of her without the burdens of her past, whether it really is "True" or not. In a weird loop, she finds a way to give the disk of her memories back to another version of herself, the blonde character, essentially putting her back "where she was before" and reminding her of the tragedy that has occurred to her (we see a spaceship blowing up, perhaps with her lover that we have previously seen escaping inside; we also see the process being conducted on her). Where we go from here and how the time loop works we have yet to find out, but based on another commenter's mention of "imaginal disc" being a real part of insect larva transformation, and the cryptic culmination of the new website resulting in a cocoon, I think that this process has more strings attached than True originally thought!
@@jpsouzaIf you check their album website. The house in Death & Romance is in there and it's called True's House. So I think Mica is True and Matt's rainbow guy is Ghost. (There's some snippet of the song in album there as well and it's rocking hard af)
@@3d-pro GHOST IS A SONG THEY RELEASED BACK IN 2018 HOLY SHIT THEY PLANNED THIS FROM THE START!!!!! AND THE FACT THAT MERCURIAL WORLD LOOPS FORESHADOWED THE TIME LOOP IN THEIR 2ND ALBUM?!?!?!
As a scientist I appreciate that the Wikipedia page concerning the imaginal disk progenitor cells responsible for the development of external features like antennae and legs in holometabolous insects now has redirect to Magdalena Bay's album. It is after all an excellent piece of music to listen in the lab.
Ive had this very thought about not just this song. But the whole album. Songs will start with themes as simple as "killing time" or "too much tv is bad" and by the end there's some haunting realization or like demon laughing or something
@@janettplanett RIGHTTTTT i can't believe how put together it is... i love the mercurial world website too but imaginal disk's entire story and the execution of it just feels SO cool and cohesive and so magbay
the way the Image and Death and Romance videos lead into each other is kind of genius bc every time i finish watching one it makes me want to go right into the other.
I haven’t seen any comment mentioning it but this mv is giving softcore “i saw the tv glow” & it had to be said Song’s an addictive bop it’d be epic if mag bay & caroline polachek featured together on a song!
My appointment for my CD lobotomy is almost ready!

The audio engineering in this is incredible, so much going on and none of it sounds noisey or cluttered. I love it.
genuinely one of the best mixed albums I've ever heard.

Magdalena and Bay are so pretty on this video
Lool😂
Oh shes hot allright....
ohhhh mah gaaaaawd
which one’s magdalena
@@artichoke333 The sweet, beautiful maiden known as Mica Tenenbaum. That's Magdalena's nickname.
I just discovered Magdalena Bay 2 days ago and its one of the best things thats ever happened to me.
i discovered them last september and they became my top artist on spotify wrapped and now i listen to them everyday😭😭😭😭
You Lose is my favorite song of theirs.
ua-cam.com/video/FQPXX_eZZAk/v-deo.html
yeah i listened to them all night i unfortunately will chase this feeling my whole life
That crunchy bass in the last Chorus hits so hard!!
fr it's so good!
They do be loving the textured bass synths at the end
BWOOM BWOOM BWOOM BWA BWOOM BWOOM BWOOM
I wanted so much more cronchy bass!
RIGHTTTT
This is one of those albums that i can't get sick of. It's pure ear candy.
Same babe
my brain yearns to be washed
"Workin' at the braaain waaash!" *sung to Car Wash by Rose Royce*
Listening to this full volume in my headphones isn’t enough. I need it to be Diskinserted into my brain.
Now I really wish it was a thing, sounds so cool 😔😂
What headphones do you have?
That’s crazy you said diskinserted because that’s the title of an interlude on the album. Time traveler?
@@atticuslanderholm1516 lol the tracklist has been out since July
Just listen while on mushrooms
My new personality for the rest of the summer
FRRRR!! So excited for new Magdalena bay music!
Hollaaaaaa
You're actually so real for that. This is our new personality
so true
So your guy's new personality is someone else's personality? You don't see how pathetic that is? Get your own life. Lol.
I heard this playing at a cafe today and I was so happy to hear Magdalena Bay playing out in the wild outta my bubble.
A moment of silence for people who may never discover this band.. how are you constantly delivering above 100% ❤
@PeakApexyou were right!
you wrer right@PeakApex
I am so glad I did I cannot believe I didn’t hear of them sooner 🩵🩵
was literally screaming “oh my god” when the distorted bass started at the end it’s so good
These guys are an earworm factory to the point of making RFK Jr. proud
absolute bars
i cant 🤣
The group dance they do at 2:49 has been living rent free in my mind for a month
Its got me actually thinking "oooooo sooo hot" and then it's what she says in the chorus 😂 it's like it's intentional
that crunchy bass too
I fucking love it so much. They couldn't have made a more perfect visual for this part.
ME TOO IM OBSESSED
The lore here is wild
"Oh my god make me in your image" has me tremblinggg
less than a million views. how is this possible? this some of the best synth pop I’ve heard in years.
Million now
We made it

wish i could rt this
Probably explains those yucky bubble outfits which straight-up triggered my tryptophobia, dammit.
come through Veronica Mars
You need to do the opposite of touch grass.
I don’t understand why she says “one more minute” towards the end tho
This whole song is an absolute bop, but 2:14 onward may define the next generation of synthpop, visually and aurally

I’m not a big pop music dude, but this chorus is so catchy it should be illegal
Listening after hearing this song in the tv show school spirit📺👻✨
The production on these tracks always blows me away. This is next level type shit.
They do their own production 🔥
at this point, they are creating their own universe with this psychedelic style.
Maybe one day they’ll host or curate a festival 🤞🏻
and it really is psychedelic. i'm a veteran psychedelic user who has used acid and shrooms, in massive amounts for forty years. and yeah, i hate the grateful dead, that music is not psychedelic, this is...
They really are cause this MV goes right into death & Romance Music Video
Really, really tired pizzagate imagery, actually.
Kate Bush created this universe 50 years ago

As a fellow scientist, I agree it’s great in the lab ))
Never get tired of Mica's sensual sways and playful prancing while Matt is just chillin in the background.
huge don’t hug me i’m scared vibes
I thought it reminded of something! I love that show

Mica's outfit is giving empire of the sun. Love it.
whats her outfit giving empire of the sun?
@@MattttttMatttttt-zo4tx loling
it really is!!!
Same thought because of the makeup!
And the cd with the sticky thing around is giving MGMT's vibes

her singing 'OMG' is rly hypnotizing
the way the Image and Death and Romance videos lead into each other is kind of genius bc every time i finish watching one it makes me want to go right into the other.
The Magbay cinematic universe continues to expand ❤️
These guys have just about distilled synth pop into its purest form. I can’t believe I’m alive to listen to stuff this good
I hear a lot of millenials like myself talking about how music sucks now then you hear this and get excited about music again. What a great track!
theyre so wrong if they say that
Yeah this is such a great throwback. Really well done.
There’s a lot of great music out now but this sounds like something that would’ve come out when we were younger fs
You should hear how GenX describes music of today. 💩💩💩
No one says this except oldheads
We don’t care if this is the most popular song on the album!! It’s still one of the best
AGREED
One of the Best artists of our generation
preach! yassss
@rommix0 I really wish people would praise their faves without mentioning Taylor Swift for once. Why is she always on your minds?
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT.
On repeat
Ok i'm late to the party but so glad I made it. Divine.
This feels like watching Mia Goth and Kate Bush being morphed into a synthwave pop star. Magdalena Bay is iconic

Dude what IS that door slamming sound?! It's crazy I love it. The ending goes so hard with that hard synth bass. Great weird pop
To me it sounds like a slowed & reverb audio clip of a piano crashing into the ground
please i’m so in love with this, it already screams timeless
magdalena bay music videos are a gift from the cerebral geocities god
I didn't think Secrets' MV could be topped.
But this Image definitely managed to do it.
Truly if this came out in 96 it would be number 1 worldwide
this is so beautiful i can’t even put into words how i feel this is genuinely the best thing i’ve ever seen
this is most interesting piece of art i've seen in AGES
Best song on the album.
Algorithm pointed me here three days ago! I think this is the most I've frequently replayed a song in years! Good shit!
you guys are so underrated it’s unfair 😭
i can't stop listening to this it's been on loop for 3 hours
X2
This song is intoxicatingly catchy AF!!!!
Their unique melodic sensibility and distinct production value truly makes for extremely addictive and fun music. Super excited for the full album!
On repeat 🔁 daily this song is my addiction
It's so rare that I listen to new music in this day and age but bands like this give me hope!
I haven’t seen any comment mentioning it but this mv is giving softcore “i saw the tv glow” & it had to be said
Song’s an addictive bop
it’d be epic if mag bay & caroline polachek featured together on a song!
I just discovered them today. I have found a gem.
Her makeup for this video reminds me of Genesis era Peter Gabriel. So obsessed with this song 🤩
Brooooo not only that, this has the Sledgehammer and Steam music videos all over it!
@currywinborn3129 you're right! I missed that. I'll never look at the video the same way now!
Loving this new era!! 💓 Can't wait for the album 🥹🥹
Sultry summer dance pop that makes me feel pretty! You folks are such a breath of fresh air and your style already feels timeless.
magdalena bay has never released a bad song
i keep watching this over and over again, hoping I'll get sick of it but sadly, it hasn't happened
If you search this song by yourself you have a great musical taste 🙂🔥
omg this is so frutiger aero + wacky pomo + utopian scholastic
Empire of the Sun, MGMT, and a dash of Poppy? I love them!!! MORE!!!!
Funny you say EOTS, was thinking Pnau too
They finally hit the 1 million views, focking deserved it!❤
It’s a Magdalena Slay!!
I love that the energy is still the same , the same magic but still snthg different , it's like seeing the same movie in different colors and styles
Why are they so underrated 😢
This is one of the greatest musical performances of all time
MGMT, Empire of the Sun and something new, futuristic.
It gives me chills everytime.
wtf have you done to me i can’t stop listening to this over and over
another successful cd lobotomy
Best song on the album so catchy!!!
That video omg beautiful 😍
I went from being a long time king gizzard fan to an even more dedicated magbay fan. Y'all changed me fr 😂
Mate, my favourite band is Opeth bwhahaha. I love noise, experimental and drone. Magdalena Bay top them aw. 💀

Album of the year
Saw them live this past weekend. One of the best shows you'll ever see!
I was there too. So good!
She just literally bring us to her inner world, creepy and crazy but deep inside have a have beauty.
This track ends too quickly, I imagine 7-8-ish minutes version to get into this crazy swing. Phenomenal song.
i can already imagine how ethereal and beautiful imaginal disk is going to be
My doctor prescribed this video to me and now I have confidence in medicine.
Amazing song, amazing album
I have not been this into a group in so long. This Magdalena Slays!
I have a feeling this song is gonna blow up
