ACL 2022: Magdalena Bay

Sunday at 4pm.  Spoon is on at this time plus two other choices. First up is a duo originally from Miami but now in L.A. Gorilla vs. Bear loves them. He posts about them all the time. I think they are signed to his record label.  According to Wikipedia:

(Mica) Tenenbaum was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina and immigrated with her family to the United States, while (Matthew) Lewin is also of Argentine-Jewish descent. They originally met in high school at a program run by Live! Modern School of Music, where they were placed in a classic rock cover band and later began writing their own progressive rock music as Tabula Rasa...After that band broke up, they formed Magdalena Bay in 2016 while on vacation from college—Tenenbaum at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and Lewin at Northeastern University in Boston—and continued to collaborate remotely

The Statesman says:

An indie-pop band with roots in Miami and vibes from another dimension. Sort of transporting in a Purity Ring way, ethereal in an early Grimes way but hook-forward in an experimental, "could be friends with Charli XCX" way. Anyway, see 'em.

 "Killshot" was one of their first singles.

Check out the video and song for "Dreamcatching". Pretty cool.

I like them. This song is on KCRWs playlist.
