Happy Wednesday! Your Happens.vip Alternative Artist Discovery Of The Week is Magdalena Bay. “Image” is the new single from the L.A. duo. Magdalena Bay says, “It’s got a little Yellow Magic Orchestra, a little Radiohead, maybe a little Phoenix? Think it combines a generally dancy energy with a dark strange mood. We like songs that do that. The lyrics are reflective of the album themes, exploring and playing with ideas of the self.”  Thanks to David Jacobs from Mom+Pop Music for VIP Access.
