Rebecca Sugar - Lonely Magic (Green)

With Spiral Bound, Rebecca Sugar established a distinct sound; affectingly soft, rich in imagery, and beautiful in it's simplicity and poignancy. Much of that album grappled with the feelings of isolation and burnout that Rebecca experienced as a showrunner. Lonely Magic, Rebecca's second studio release, presents an evolution of the sounds in Spiral Bound, adding robust instrumentation, unexpectedly bold soundscapes, and a connected throughline of themes just as relatable and personal as the subjects of the first album. On these 7 heartfelt tracks, Rebecca works through complex feelings of belonging, connection, love and loneliness. It's beautiful pop music at it's best, and at iam8bit, we are humbled to play a part in bringing it to you. The Lonely Magic 10" has been pressed on Angelic Green vinyl, sporting original album art from - who else? - Rebecca Sugar, including the three angels who represent the theses of the songs themselves. This is the work of a true visionary, folks. You need to hear it.
