Credit: Kittie Krivacic San Francisco’s Magic Fig will release their debut full length album Valerian Tea this Friday, November 21 via Exploding In Sound Records. The psych-pop supergroup's new collection touches on memory, myth, and melancholy, built from a swirling mass of sonic exploration and instrumentation, which includes piano, synthesizers, glockenspiel, organ, 12-string acoustic and electric guitar. A psych pop Broadcast-esque blend of warmth and detachment, the album has earned acclaim spanning NPR “Into Music”, Tour Stories with Joe Plummer podcast, AudioFuzz, Post-Trash, Punknews.org, New Commute and much more coming soon.  Today, the band shares final preview track “Goblin” which Inna Showalter describes as being “About the fickleness of inspiration.” She continues, “It’s also a song about wearing disguises and not being authentic, which causes harm in the long run. The desire to be accepted and ‘good’ cannot always coexist with following your heart.” Building from a spacious, somewhat drifting opening half, the song shifts at the midway-point. Light and color pour in and the whole thing grows into something altogether more exuberant. Guitars gleam, the temperature rises, and Inna’s vocals fade into the background. The result is a wondrous, skewed take on the band’s influences; from the decadence of Caravan and Pink Floyd to more straight-up Krautrock aesthetics. Watch + Share: “Goblin” Composed of Inna Showalter (vocals/mellotron), Jon Chaney (keys), Muzzy Moskowitz (guitar), Matthew Ferrara (bass) and Taylor Giffin (drums) the psych-pop supergroup features members of The Umbrellas, Healing Potpourri, Almond Joy, Whitney's Playland, Blades of Joy. Valerian Tea feels like an unlocking, a deep-dive down the rabbit-hole into a world that feels altogether more vivid and flamboyant. It is the sound of a band building a bold new world. TikTok | Instagram | Facebook Bandcamp | Spotify | Apple Music
