New Magana LP / Frog Updates (Radio & Live)

Magana has announced Teeth,’ her second album, which will be released on March 25th (to coincide with the Worm Moon’s peak illumination) through Audio Antihero and her own Colored Pencils imprint. Magana is the solo project of multi-instrumentalist Jeni Magaña, who has spent the last few years on the road as bassist for Mitski (from Jimmy Kimmel to Glastonbury) and Lady Lamb, as well as working with Emily Moore as one-half of the pen pin pop duo.

Spun from Magaña’s meditations and synth experiments, ‘Teeth,’ which she describes as “Witchy Rock,” is unlike any of her past works. An album about “regrowth and a new view on the world,” its sound touches on Acid Folk, Alternative Pop, and even Krautrock as she tackles the bleakest and most brutally honest subjects of her songwriting career.

Pre-Order ‘Teeth’ on Bandcamp & Stream the latest single on Spotify. Catch up with Magana on Linktree.
