In March, she returned to the Magana project after a three-year-absence with the critically acclaimed ‘Teeth’LP, which reunited her with Audio Antihero Records(Frog / CIAO MALZ / Nosferatu D2)who issued her ‘Golden Tongue’ debut in 2016. Released to coincide with the peak illumination of the Worm Moon, her return was marked with a “Witchy Rock” sound that combined Acid Folk, Synth Pop, and Indie Rock. Magaña followed this in October with ‘DREAMS,’ a multimedia project released via the UK’s Hand Drawn Hand label, which combined Ambient Electronic music with a spoken word dream diary and a book of her photography.

The ‘Bad News’ EP is her third release in a ten month period, and is considered the final part of the ‘Teeth trilogy.’ Teasingly described by Magaña as “Cozy Core” and “Winter Pop,” these four songs see her return to the singer-songwriter focus of works like‘Golden Tongue’ and ‘Teeth’ but strip away the Rock and Ambient layers, so to emphasize words, meaning, honesty, and change.

“This EP is the last of what I think of as an interconnected trio of releases. ‘Teeth’ was made for spring, a period of growth. It was expansive and exploring. ‘DREAMS’ was made for fall. It was about dusk, the dawning of the restful months. ‘Bad News’ is made for that period of time between the end of winter and the beginning of spring. Stillness before movement. Each song is about the period of time right before a transition: the realization that change is coming or that it needs to come. As the most lyrically driven of the releases, it is mostly about storytelling. I think of each track as a vignette of a moment in time for four different stories.” – Jeni Magaña
