Syn­th­pop col­lec­tive Mag­net­ic Skies return with their sec­ond album, Frag­ments, coin­cid­ing with their first UK head­line tour. Their 2023 debut, Empire Falling, estab­lished the band as con­fi­dent pur­vey­ors of cin­e­mat­ic syn­th­pop, mov­ing flu­id­ly between eupho­ria and melan­choly. On Frag­ments, they build on that foun­da­tion with a sharp­er focus and a broad­er sound, push­ing their 80s-inspired drama…

So we are delight­ed to have two new works to lis­ten to, songs that she…
