Magdalena Bay Work Out Their Existential Dread on Van Trip in 'Hysterical Us' Video
“The Deluxe is a mish mosh of sorts, an amalgamation of new songs that didn’t originally fit the flow of Mercurial World, of reimagined versions of existing album tracks by us and some talented remixers, plus some special secrets,” the band said in a statement. “ When we started working on the Deluxe, we wanted it to flow like the original album did. These secrets tie the record together in a cool way, we can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”
To accompany the album announcement, Magdalena Bay shared one of two remixes on the Deluxe, British producer Danny L Harle’s take on the standout single, “Chaeri.” The other remix on the Deluxe was handled by Cecile Believe, who turned in a new version of “Something for 2.”
Magdalena Bay are also set to launch a lengthy North American headlining tour this fall. The run will kick off Sept. 28 at the Fortune Sound Club in Vancouver and wrap on Nov. 26 at the Art With Me Festival in Miami. Ticket information is available on Magdalena Bay’s website.
