@@simspawn Okay so lets start with image, Mica's character True goes to get a disk inserted so that True can get a new image. That new image we see here in Death & Romance. Death & Romance is the immediate next song after Image. Then we get the bonus song at the end Fear, Sex, which connects D&R and Image. Were we see that True didn't get the new image she wanted and instead is stuck in the Doctor's office. That's the really short explanation to keep everything concise, because otherwise I could ramble on for a good few paragraphs with theories. But why do that when we can enjoy the music instead and wait for the the full album and ALL the videos clips to piece together the full story? Speaking of which ONE MORE WEEK!
I literally cannot comprehend how good these two songs are. I have never been this obsessed with a song in my life. Thousands of liked songs, and this is the peak of my listening history ever ever ever. It’s fucking insane
@@jessesuny7043 haha. There ya go then. Might seem a bit different but check out Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the pink robots (the album). Obviously the guy can't sing like Magdalena Bay but he has an earnest beauty for sure. There are def some of the same sunny/sci-fi/cartoony yet melancholy vibes and amazing production. I'd be surprised if MB were not influenced by that album. Also Air's first album "Moon Safari".
exactly what i thought too, i have a playlist with almost 4k songs, i listened to countless amount of albums and today i listened to this album fully and it's genuinely the best music i've ever heard if i rate most songs i listen to 7/10-10/10 this album is 12/10 and this song is literally the best of all time
@@vovithywhy are we the same like…music really peaked here. my spotify listening minutes were equivalent to 3 months worth of hours last year baring in mind.
hi sorry i just saw u comment on the newest vulfpeck song as well and wanted to tell you your music taste bangs as hard as your videos 😩 thank u for existing!!!
Interlude's(?) lyrics (I think): So you stand in a broken war You fall upon your sword Cheers to what you had You said forgive and forget Then got me into this mess Through an open door I'm where I was before Cheers to what we had You said forgive and forget So get me out of this mess Get me Get me Get me, me Get me Get me Get me, me I'm sending out a distress So get me out of this mess So get me out of this mess Please don't die alone Overhead I'll surrender to the voices in the end Shoulda known those dirty bastards would Put wires in your head Are you there? All alone, lost in forever Please don't die alone Overhead I'll surrender to the voices in the end Shoulda known those dirty bastards would Put wires in your head Are you there? All alone, lost in forever
I swear everything you guys come out with it's always a banger. You guys haven't missed a single time and I'm genuinely convinced you're one of the best duos, not only of pop, but music in general
Almost feels like Death & Romance are gorgeous ideals (Death til us part;Hopeless romantics) almost unattainable, and then Fear & Sex are the carnal counterparts to each that results into a spiral into despair ("I'm sending out a distress"). Maybe I'm crazy...such a good song/video.
I love Magdalena Bay! For years now. What sucks is when you never told someone in your life you loved them so deeply. Then they die. Then they come thru in a dream and tell you they loved you just as much. It’s hard to take… This song really hits close to home. Just my interpretation obviously. Anyway please continue to be amazing Magdalena Bay!!! ❤
I’m crying. My mom passed away a week ago, your music has carried me through so many bad times these past few years. I sprained my ankle and still made it to your Mercurial World your, your music means everything to me and has touched my little weirdo soul. Thank you for getting me through the hard times 💗🧚♀️
When I realized this song was 8 mins long I was like "ya, I don't care. It deserves it." I feel the piano run so hard. I don't even know what the feeling is, but it moves me. I feel this song in my soul. Thanks for the song guys. Really hope you do more I feel this strongly.
Genuine question, would it be weird for a straight guy to listen to this. I don’t think so but I feel like others would think so if I posted it on my IG notes. At the same time I’d say fuck em cause they’re missing out on beautiful music
Every time I hear the bassline and drums drop on Fear Sex it sends me... one of many sublime moments on this album. I'm a major Charli/brat stan and I hope she wins at the Grammys but Death and Romance would've been my pick for record of the year. It's criminal that we're not hearing it blasted everywhere.
This era of Magdalena Bay is incredible, I don't know them personally but I'm so proud and happy for them. This goes so hard and has ended up one of my many favorites on the new album! Love is everywhere!
Just discovered your music a few days ago (Image came in my feed) and I was immediately intrigued, but this one is something else man. Both the music and clip are quiet epic, absolutely vibrant and creative, but it's also a striking mix of pristine beauty and quirkiness that makes it all the more captivating! This is going to stay in my mind for a few weeks now... Beautiful.
THE SECOND SURPRISE TRACK?? THE STORYLINE????? Magdalena Bay bringing back the art of the music video, so excited for the new album! Magbayinators rise!!
So you stand in the broken war You fall upon your sword Cheers to what you had You said forgive and forget Then got me into this mess Through an open door I'm where I was before Cheers to what we had You said forgive and forget So get me out of this mess Get me, Get me, Get me, me Get me, Get me, Get me, me I'm sending out a distress So get me out of this mess So get me out of this mess Please don't die alone Overhead I'll surrender to the voices in the end Shoulda known those dirty bastards Would put wires in your head Are you there? All alone Lost in forever Please don't die alone Overhead I'll surrender to the voices in the end Shoulda known those dirty bastards Would put wires in your head Are you there? All alone Lost in forever
40 year old here, I dont mean to be comment bombing this but I cant stop listening!!! Hope you kids don't mind me bumping in on your grind. The piano just does me, idk what it does me other than it does ME. It ME'S as a verb so gd hard I just can't ~ Thank you for soothing my broken soul with your sounds. It really does mean a lot and makes life better.
You have truly surpassed yourselves with this track and video and to think it's only the first song from the new album. Astonishing quality! Cannot wait to see you live in London in November! Much love 🥳💖
It's always refreshing to wade through the usual, the derivative - then stumble upon something fresh and new. Thank you - both the video and music are hard to forget (in a good way). Peace
At the beginning of this year I found your music and it has been beautiful, thanks Mica and Matt. This is the second time I will look for a vinyl. Keep going with your music, it is wonderful.
at this point i just love living along bay's music. u guys are part of my journey in this life, and i hope it'll be in other ones. U LOOK STUNNING, MIKA! LUV U! 🩷
My love for this band transcends space, and time. God that outro around 5:15 has completely taken me since release day. What do you guys think is its title? "Fear, Sex", or "True Blue Interlude"? I know it makes sense for it to be "Fear, Sex" based on the songs transition from "Death & Romance", but since it's seemingly a shorter song, it feels like an interlude to me... Maybe they're going to do something like Tool's "Lateralus" Holy Gift rearrangement? I could totally be wrong though! I truly feel blessed to have gotten entangled in the Magdalena Bay universe one fine day sometime back in summer 2021 after one of my dis-associative vaporwave marathons that summer. It took me about a year afterwards in summer 2022 to really dive into their music, but once I did, it really improved something soul deep for me, and my life got better for a bit, and even when it got worse, they were always there to remind me I wasn't alone in this mercurial world, during these rosy haze, apocalypse times.
EVERY summer all I do is loop y’all’s music and it seems like it’s going to be a thing because it’s been 3 years strong now. This song is so baller I’ve had it on loop for the past few days. The new aesthetic is so fun too I’m so excited for new content from them using it. Reminiscent of their older stuff yet innovative and fun nonetheless :)
It's great to see a band put out something that builds on their previous work, but totally defies expectations and also slaps.
Duo
did I just listen to the greatest pop song of all time????????
yes.
yes
Sorry, that title belongs to every hit song in Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album
@@cesarSaysMLC Death and Romance is better than most Thriller tracks I reckon...
@@cesarSaysMLCthat shit's obsolete man
I see Matt finally shed his human skin suit and we got to see his final form.
So proud of him for transcending to a being of pure light
and in rainbow colors.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ha, that's not even his final form..
tru
OH THE ENDING AND IMAGE NOW MAKES SENSE
holy shit lol
Fing explain then xD
@@simspawn Yeah, we see how the imagery connects but it's not exactly a coherent story (yet)

I know right. So good. I feel like you'll appreciate Jessie Ware - Remember Where You Are. Another beautiful and funky modern song.
@@MrTingle-qi2neI have their two most recent albums on vinyl. Love her sm

"Fear, sex" is the song in the outro for anyone who is still wondering ;)
wild when the album dropped, i thought it was an extended version but combo MV is nice :P
this is astonishing and life changing and incredible wow
hi sorry i just saw u comment on the newest vulfpeck song as well and wanted to tell you your music taste bangs as hard as your videos 😩 thank u for existing!!!
Omg ro? Idk u but I'm a fan n live in sea, ofc u would appreciate magdalena bay! Theyre incredible, I can't wait to see them in sept
Yo that outro song/interlude was fucking insane. Can't wait to be transported into a new planet with this next album. Save me Magdalena Bay
real, i'm going to get high when the album drops
i hope it's included in the full album not just the music video
@@ethab57 it's called "Fear, Sex"
try "your imagination by all natural lemon and lime flavors"
That ending track is insane, im spechless
indeed :o
💿💿💿 Magdel-obotomy time 💿💿💿
😂😂😂❤️🔥
Laughing and thinking, "What the hell am I watching?" At the same time.
Gotta love Magdalena Bay. I'm so glad we get new releases!
"good pop music is like a successful lobotomy"
Telling my kids this was Sabrina Carpenter.
LMFAO
If they like it, tell them who it really is!!!
That is an insult to mica lol
Cringe, there’s literally no comparison
dont insult magdalena bay like that 😔
Interlude's(?) lyrics (I think):
So you stand in a broken war
You fall upon your sword
Cheers to what you had
You said forgive and forget
Then got me into this mess
Through an open door
I'm where I was before
Cheers to what we had
You said forgive and forget
So get me out of this mess
Get me
Get me
Get me, me
Get me
Get me
Get me, me
I'm sending out a distress
So get me out of this mess
So get me out of this mess
Please don't die alone
Overhead
I'll surrender to the voices in the end
Shoulda known those dirty bastards would
Put wires in your head
Are you there?
All alone, lost in forever
Please don't die alone
Overhead
I'll surrender to the voices in the end
Shoulda known those dirty bastards would
Put wires in your head
Are you there?
All alone, lost in forever
🎶Shoulda known those dirty bastards would put wires in your head🎶
THANK YOU @@MagdalenaBay
thank you! 😭 i was looking for these
Interesting... Synchronicity did it again. 👽
❤@@MagdalenaBay
lol these guys are such geniuses, im glad they decided to pursue music as a career
Imagine if they hadn't....none of us would have experienced their wonderful tracks 😬
I swear everything you guys come out with it's always a banger. You guys haven't missed a single time and I'm genuinely convinced you're one of the best duos, not only of pop, but music in general
If the MTV of the 80's still existed, they would definitely be playing MB videos.
I thought the song was about to end, but it continued and was so amazing that it gave me goosebumps.
OMG SAME!
I legit sat up in a panic 😂❤
I just noticed that! Is it a different song that hasn’t been released?
@@julieta12 It's the song that comes right after Death & Romance on the album! It's called "Fear, Sex"!
real
Almost feels like Death & Romance are gorgeous ideals (Death til us part;Hopeless romantics) almost unattainable, and then Fear & Sex are the carnal counterparts to each that results into a spiral into despair ("I'm sending out a distress"). Maybe I'm crazy...such a good song/video.
When he inserted the CD straight into her brain at the end, thats what I do with all your albums
JoJo's reference
@@dizzypear it's not
THAT OUTRO?!?!?!?
The way I shot straight up from the couch and opened my Spotify thinking that another song was released without me knowing…
I bet you had a good time in the past few days then lol
Search "Your Imagination, Natural lemon and lime flavours." You'll thank me later.
the ending to this song is insanely good. thank you for the music!
"your imagination, all natural lemon and lime flavors." give it a go :)
I need the last track on Spotify, that was sooo goood!!!
It’s track 6 on their new record
It's fear,sex
I love Magdalena Bay! For years now. What sucks is when you never told someone in your life you loved them so deeply. Then they die. Then they come thru in a dream and tell you they loved you just as much. It’s hard to take… This song really hits close to home. Just my interpretation obviously.

Just tell Magdalena Bay you love them already!
I love this. It’s so 80s and weird. Brilliant.
I'm pretty sure these two are cosmic beings come from the stars to teach us their unknowable ways.
I’m just discovering Magdalena Bay and OMG where have I been, the visuals the sound all so ETHEREAL
Oh I already know this is going to be on repeat for days!! Especially that ending track though??? I'M OBSESSED
I’m crying. My mom passed away a week ago, your music has carried me through so many bad times these past few years. I sprained my ankle and still made it to your Mercurial World your, your music means everything to me and has touched my little weirdo soul. Thank you for getting me through the hard times 💗🧚♀️
We love you 🩵🩵🩵
Sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss
So so sorry for your loss. Hope you and your family are okay.
Good job
This song slaps so hard,
But that BASSLINE SLAAAAAAAPS
We're about to enter another masterpiece era guys
They have a 100% accuracy stat. I call hacks.
@@HamishEdmondson I'm ok with whatever cheat codes are being used here because these mfs just don't miss
When did we exit the last one?
and I'm always here for it!
honey we never left
I'm head over heels in love with Magdalena Bay. When I listen to their music, my heart beats faster and faster. Absolute genius!
some of the greatest art ever made im serious
this is progressive pop ladies and gent.
This and Exploring Birdsong making the best prog pop
@@Clokkemaker12 Isn't it called Avant-Pop?
it's really not, more along the lines of pop rock or neo-psychedelia
This is definitely a Pink Floyd-inspired psychedelic prog rock vibe
They just keep getting better and better. 😍
This is quite possibly 1 of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard in this generation
THAT WAS SOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD, WHAT WAS THAT LAST TRACK???? OMG!!! YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
THE TRACK AT THE END IS SO FUCKING GOOD I NEED IT NOWWWW
Anyone know when it’s out???
@@scorpio2630 probably friday tbh
Channel named Halfway has the third act. Amazing
Their music always pairs well with a subwoofer!
THE SURPRISE TRACK DROP WAS SICKENING WE LOVE YOU GUYS 🤍💿🤍 so excited for the full album
The surprise new track at the end tho
You guys keep putting out absolute Ws every time.
Love the pop jazz with funk and psych in it. Brilliant vocals brilliant track
When I realized this song was 8 mins long I was like "ya, I don't care. It deserves it."

This needs to win song of the year or something holy shit
I keep coming back to listen to what I assume is Fear, Sex. I simply cannot wait for this album 💿
This era of Magdalena Bay is incredible, I don't know them personally but I'm so proud and happy for them. This goes so hard and has ended up one of my many favorites on the new album! Love is everywhere!
The visuals and song felt so ethereal definitely one of my favorites
This is seriously so good and majestic. HOW HAS IT STILL NOT GONE VIRAL??
Most people are idiots listening to drake
This is straight 8 mins eargasm !
The way she sings "those dirty bastards" is so cute.
This is everything.. feels straight out of a psychedelic dream
Mag Bay are truly leveling up their visuals for this new album cycle, I love their silly lil existential stories so much!
Pretty incredible to live in 2024 and have access to content 20 years ahead of its time
2025 is the year Magdalena Bay is a household name doing massive world tours.
sooooo psyched for this new era, it’s going to change me on a fundamental level and I’m so ready
So glad I was there to witness this drop (outro and all) last Tuesday.
I'd watch a whole movie like this.
They hearted the comment movie album confirmed
I hope they make a movie for this album! At least, that we know what happened to farm girl and alien 😢
A movie album would be awesome
Right. This aesthetic is so nostalgic but somehow also very new. It’s giving dark fantasy/scifi.
It kinda seems like they might be making one tbh
This is the modern day Dark Side of The Moon
... YES
Based take
Yess i agree
the ending made ME CRYYY.. guys you are THE BEST thing that i discovered in 2024
6:17 Those Dreamcast Startup style sounds are so good, this whole song and the bonus track are amazing‼️‼️‼️‼️
this is the greatest piece of art I have ever witnessed I just cried

you should really listen to Imaginal Disk, their latest project, album of the year imo
Thank you for existing.
I don’t feel weird and lonely anymore.⭐️ just a beautiful scene!
Absolute banger and a life altering experience under certain circumstances. Thank you for taking me on this journey.
The way this song already feels like a classic
omg this video is everything rural space mermaid related I needed rn 😂😎🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️🧜🏼♀️
THE SECOND SURPRISE TRACK?? THE STORYLINE????? Magdalena Bay bringing back the art of the music video, so excited for the new album! Magbayinators rise!!
Such a visual masterpiece
This is art 😭 honestly the most well spent 8 mins of my life
So you stand in the broken war
You fall upon your sword
Cheers to what you had
You said forgive and forget
Then got me into this mess
Through an open door
I'm where I was before
Cheers to what we had
You said forgive and forget
So get me out of this mess
Get me, Get me, Get me, me
Get me, Get me, Get me, me
I'm sending out a distress
So get me out of this mess
So get me out of this mess
Please don't die alone
Overhead
I'll surrender to the voices in the end
Shoulda known those dirty bastards
Would put wires in your head
Are you there?
All alone
Lost in forever
Please don't die alone
Overhead
I'll surrender to the voices in the end
Shoulda known those dirty bastards
Would put wires in your head
Are you there?
All alone
Lost in forever
I love how their visuals are always kinda whimsical

music is for everyone. it’s just cool to keep finding and loving new music as you age. a lot of people don’t! this album is gorgeous
11/10 song
I've been watching this just to get to the second song. Pure bliss. Love the breakdowns. Favorite band right now, I love you guys.
I think at the age of 35 you're unable to find out your new favourite song of all time but here we are ❤
The song and this band are perfect, progressive synth/spacepop. imo this is the most exciting band since 20 years.
thanks magadlaena bya
this is beautiful i love it
GOD I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG AND ITS OUTRO, ESPECIALLY THE OUTRO
Simply the best 8-minute music video I have ever seen!
You have truly surpassed yourselves with this track and video and to think it's only the first song from the new album. Astonishing quality! Cannot wait to see you live in London in November! Much love 🥳💖
7:31 The whole ending feel like David Lynch... I LOVE THAT !
that interlude is really something else
This song gives me simply red vibes, it's amazing
Album of the decade
Matt is a cosmic being... I knew it
this goes tooooooo hard.
It's always refreshing to wade through the usual, the derivative - then stumble upon something fresh and new. Thank you - both the video and music are hard to forget (in a good way).
Peace
very good progressive/electronic pop track
your background in prog rock shows itself
Thank God for Magdalana bay.

Just getting into MB and this track is f'ing incredible. Broken Social Scene vibes. Insanely tight rhythm section.
