Magdalena Bay brings their surreal pop universe to The Fillmore New Orleans on October 15 for the Imaginal Mystery tour. Get tickets here.
Magdalena Bay is are master of building worlds as much as they are writing pop songs. The Los Angeles duo of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin craft music that feels like it’s beamed in from somewhere between nostalgia and the future: glimmering synths, neon hooks, and a surrealist pop edge that’s distinctly their own.
On Wednesday, October 15, the pair will bring their Imaginal Mystery tour to The Fillmore in New Orleans, celebrating the release of their 2024 album Imaginal Disk. Expect a full immersion into Magdalena Bay’s kaleidoscopic universe, where sound, visuals, and atmosphere blur into one dreamlike performance.
The duo’s story traces back to Miami, where they first met as teenagers in a music program and eventually formed the prog band Tabula Rasa. By the time they shifted into pop, they were already well-versed in music theory and production, and ready to reinvent themselves. Their 2021 debut album Mercurial World introduced listeners to a meticulously crafted, hook-heavy sound that critics quickly labeled “synth-pop,” though the band prefers the more expansive descriptor of simply “pop.”
With Imaginal Disk, Magdalena Bay pushes their vision further, weaving surreal storytelling with infectious production and their ever-growing visual aesthetic. Their live shows extend this “world-building” into full sensory experiences, pairing music with theatrical visuals that invite audiences into their technicolor cosmos.
Magdalena Bay’s rise has been fueled by streaming numbers, social media savvy, and a playful but precise creative identity, but it’s on stage where they fully embody the atmosphere they’ve been crafting. For New Orleans fans, this Fillmore show promises to be a dazzling trip into the duo’s universe, and a chance to hear their newest material in the immersive way it was meant to be experienced.
