Get ready to dive into a sonic wonderland because Magdalena Bay just dropped a treasure trove of music that’s as dazzling as it is thought-provoking. After tantalizing us with a series of shimmering, world-building tracks over the past few weeks, the duo has finally compiled them into one mesmerizing project: Nice Day: A Collection Of Singles. But here’s where it gets even more exciting—this isn’t just a random assortment of songs. It’s a carefully curated journey that builds on their 2024 LP Imaginal Disk, serving as its conceptual and spiritual successor. And this is the part most people miss: it’s also a prelude to their highly anticipated Spring 2026 UK/EU headline tour, Imaginal Mystery.
The collection features six tracks, including the previously released double singles—Second Sleep and Star Eyes, Human Happens and Paint Me A Picture, and Unoriginal and Black-Eyed Susan Climb—along with two brand-new additions: This Is The World (I Made It For You) and the titular Nice Day. Each song is a portal to Magdalena Bay’s signature blend of dreamy electronics and genre-bending experimentation, inviting listeners to lose themselves in their meticulously crafted universe.
But here’s the controversial part: While fans are celebrating this release, some critics argue that the band’s rapid output might dilute their artistic impact. Is it a genius move to keep their audience engaged, or are they risking oversaturation? We’ll let you decide.
Below, you’ll find the full tour schedule for their 2026 UK/EU tour, where they’ll be joined by Allie X. Mark your calendars, because this is one live experience you won’t want to miss.
