Teeth,â the second album from Magana will be released on March 25th (to coincide with the Worm Moonâs peak illumination) through Audio Antihero Records (Frog / Cloud /
Nosferatu D2) & Colored Pencils.
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 Festival) and Lady Lamb..
Self-described as “Witchy Rock,” her sound flirts with Acid Folk, Alternative Pop, and even Krautrock as she tackles the bleakest and most brutally honest subjects of her songwriting career.
Born in Bakersfield, CA, she studied music at Bostonâs Berklee College before relocating to Brooklyn, NY, where she released her debut EP, ‘Golden Tongue,’ in 2016. Its âGhost Popâ sound stunned and received rave reviews and national airplay. After relocating to Los Angeles, she formed the pen pin pop duo with Emily Moore (Taylor Swift / Dua Lipa / Kesha / Charli XCX).
Spun from Magañaâs meditations and experiments, this is unlike any of her past works. As previewed in 2023âs âGirl in Chains,â âAfraid of Everybody,â and âBeside Youâ singles, this genre-bending LP sees dark and mystical landscapes ebb and flow around intensely vulnerable lyrics and vintage vocal stylings. Aching songs are strung together by instrumental interludes, giving this album about regrowth a fever dream quality.
