Mrs. Magician - Spiritual Hangover [Colored Vinyl] (Red) (Ylw) Vinyl Record

San Diego's Mrs. Magician has always bent surf music and punk into something delightfully off-kilter - sun-soaked, hook-heavy power pop with a lyrical fixation on life's darker undercurrents. Their 2012 debut, Strange Heaven, was a nihilistic pop statement that grew into a cult classic. The 2016 follow-up, Bermuda, sharpened the edges with punchy, nervy songwriting. Both records were produced by John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu), cementing the band's place in Southern California's underground lineage.Now, in 2026, Mrs. Magician reemerges with their long-awaited third LP, Spiritual Hangover. Recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 and Singing Serpent Studios with producer Christian Cummings, Spiritual Hangover finds songwriter Jacob Turnbloom trading youthful nihilism for something more reflective. Where earlier records wrestled with existential dread through anthemic defiance, this new collection embraces uncertainty - an admission of ignorance in the face of the human condition, paired with a genuine longing for connection and understanding.The humor remains. The hooks are sharper than ever. But the perspective has shifted. These songs feel less like a declaration of dominance and more like a celebration of fragility - an acknowledgment that life is fleeting, confusing, and still worth enjoying.The album features Andrew Montoya (drums) and Mark Rivera (bass) of The Sess, Ian Fowles (guitar) of The Aquabats, and John Reis (guitar).Spiritual Hangover channels the bright urgency of late-'70s power pop through a distinctly Californian lens - warm, melodic, and irresistibly alive."Super fun, well crafted, with great melodies. It gives me that late '70s power pop energy I loved so much as a kid. Every track has something joyous to grab onto. In a world full of bleak news, Spiritual Hangover is a warming blast of California sunshine." - Walter Schreifels (Gorilla Biscuits/Quicksand)
