There’s so much going on here that it’s actually quite hard to pin it all down. The intriguingly named Magali, A Cult (a solo artist) was born in Hong Kong, and now resides in NYC. She describes herself online as a “sci-fi pop artist,” and that’s weirdly vague enough to actually make a ton of sense. The music is an esoteric workout for the brain, while also proving to be spiritually refreshing. There’s some ‘90s electronic in there, some pop harmonies, and even an industrial edge. Magali, A Cult is a producer, 3D modeler and 3D animator, which explains why her music has the feel of a score at times. As sweet and draining as “It Is (The End)” is, “Auntie Christ” is poetry set to ferocity.
