Magdalena Bay (group)
Magdalena Bay is an American synth-pop and electronic duo from Miami, Florida, based in Los Angeles, California. The band consists of singer-songwriter Mica Tenenbaum and producer Matthew Lewin. The duo has released one studio album, three EPs, and two mixtapes, called "Mini Mixes", composed of one- to two-minute songs, with accompanying homemade green screen music videos.

The duo released their debut studio album, Mercurial World, on October 8, 2021. They have been noted for their informational TikTok videos on the music industry and their kitschy DIY visuals.

History 
Magdalena Bay was formed in 2016 while Tenenbaum and Lewin were attending college separately – Tenenbaum at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Lewin at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. They originally met as high school students at Live! Modern School of Music in Miami, Florida, where they were placed in a classic rock cover band and later began writing their own prog rock music as Tabula Rasa. After the band broke up, Tenenbaum and Lewin formed Magdalena Bay in 2016. The group is not named after the bay in Mexico, but an administrator at Lewin's former job. The duo released their first two EPs, Day/Pop and Night/Pop, in 2019, and signed with indie record label Luminelle Recordings later that year. They have cited Grimes, Chairlift, and Charli XCX as influences.

The duo released their debut studio album, Mercurial World, on October 8, 2021. The album's release was preceded by four singles: "Chaeri", "Secrets (Your Fire)", "You Lose!", and "Hysterical Us".
