Magdalena Bay wrapped up NYC run (Terminal 5 night 1 pics, video & setlist)

Having released the fantastic Imaginal Disk last year, Magdalena Bay are back out on the road supporting it now, and recently wrapped up a three-night run in NYC, with two shows at Terminal 5 bookending a DJ set at 99 Scott. In our list of the best albums of 2024, I wrote that Magdalena Bay were “here to usher pop into its next form in some looming space-age future,” and the show I went to, night one at Terminal 5, made a pretty convincing case for that too. They had the whole floor bouncing to their inventive electro-pop, which is cut with a little prog and a high concept backstory, and I saw a few people in blue face paint for the occasion.

The whole place really lit up for “Chaeri,” one of the highlights off 2021’s also-fantastic Mercurial World, and there were costume changes, keytar jams, and futuristic visuals to set the scene. See pictures, video, and the setlist from Wednesday night below.
