Magdalena Bay

Magdalena Bay is a visionary performance duo that has redefined the intersection of alt-pop and visual comedy. Originally hailing from Miami and now based in Los Angeles, the pair—consisting of Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin—has earned a global cult following for their "chronically online" aesthetic and surreal, character-driven storytelling. Mica, a former member of an all-female sketch comedy troupe at the University of Pennsylvania, infuses their work with a sharp, kitschy wit that transforms every project into a theatrical event. Their career is defined by a series of "audiovisual fever dreams," most notably their Mini Mix series and the critically acclaimed 2024 concept album, Imaginal Disk. Blending futuristic synth-pop with a DIY, Y2K-inspired humor, they have been praised by outlets like PAPER Magazine and Pitchfork for building immersive, psychedelic universes.
