KILLshot - mAGDALENA BAY
Released as a single in 2019, Killshot by Magdalena Bay captures the duo’s combination of dreamy synth-pop with electronic beats. Mica Tenenbaum and Matthew Lewin have quickly established themselves as rising stars in the indie-pop scene, pushing genre boundaries and drawing younger audiences into their surreal, kaleidoscopic world of sound.
The production of this song is insane - slinky, sexy, almost as if Pharrell made an early 2000s-inspired beat. In contradiction to its airy synth and pulsing beat, the lyrics of Killshot weave a story of passion and disillusionment. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to put on headphones, turn off the lights, and drift into another world.
For fans of synth-pop or electronic music with a dark, yet seductive edge, Killshot offers a captivating listening experience. It’s the kind of track you can’t help but dance to, each listen revealing another layer in the world of Magdalena Bay.
