Magnetic Skies

SYNTH POP/NEW WAVE
Following a string of EPs and singles, synthpop outfit Magnetic Skies released their dramatic debut album Empire Falling in November 2023.

Initially setting out as a duo in 2019, Magnetic Skies was born as a studio-based project created by lead vocalist and keys player Simon Kent and Jo Womar also on keys, driven by a shared love of 80s synth-driven post-punk. They began building their sound and continually released EPs throughout 2020 – here, the seeds were sown with pulsing, vintage analogue synths and pumping bass to create a signature sound of evocative electronica mixed with darkwave, classic yet delightfully futuristic all at once. The band’s long awaited full-length debut release, "Empire Falling", was released 3 November 2023 to critical acclaim.

“Glacial, analogue textures with juggernaut choruses.” (Classic Pop)
“Music to dream by, to love by and to lose yourself in.” (Blitzed)
“Euphoric, dreamy synthpop… brilliantly unique.” (When The Horn Blows)

Magnetic Skies will be embarking on their first headline tour in November 2025 to promote the release of the forthcoming second album, "Fragments".
