Mag­net­ic Skies’ vinyl album launch for their first album Empire Falling, took place at venue 229 Lon­don, based at Great Port­land Street. With synth-rich anthemic tracks that radi­ate an emo­tion­al land­scape from eupho­ria to dark­ness, the band’s tracks are enhanced by pow­er­ful synths and Simon Ken­t’s vocal prowess. 

The band opened with Fad­ing Lights, fol­low­ing which they played the moody and men­ac­ing Suf­fo­cate. Simon Kent intro­duced the track Mag­net­ic Skies which they wrote back in lock­down. A few new tracks were show­cased too. Your Shad­ow and Every­thing’s Alright were played as encores. The album is sound­ing great and it’s so good to see them play live again.

Sup­port band, Lon­don duo Palin­drones, played an excit­ing and imag­i­na­tive set of dancey elec­tron­i­ca. They cre­ate a land­scape both dreamy and indus­tri­al, with a pound­ing bass. There’s some­thing mag­i­cal and oth­er­word­ly about their set that adds a height­ened sense of drama.
