Magenta Moon Covers David Bowie’s Iconic Hit “Moonage Daydream”

Edgy pop outfit Magenta Moon has released their reimagined version of “Moonage Daydream,” a cover that marks a pivotal moment in their musical evolution. This rendition blends post-punk with pop-driven vocals and dynamic instrumentation, highlighting the band’s distinctive sound. “Moonage Daydream” is now available on all major streaming platforms worldwide.

Magenta Moon’s cover of “Moonage Daydream” fuses David Bowie’s rich and iconic sound with their distinctive voices. As listeners are drawn into their musical soundscape, they’re subjected to layered vocals, guitar riffs, and cosmic instrumentals. “The guitar solo marks the zenith of the song, starting at double speed, and when cut-time hits, soaring notes slice through the ether, illuminating the way on this sonic journey,” says the pair. “The track culminates in a swirling outro with cosmic vocals and a deeply emotional violin solo.” Recorded and Mixed at Dead Stare Audio by Andrew Solis and mastered by Nick Townsend, Magenta Moon’s reinvention of “Moonage Daydream” is more than just a cover, it is a testament to the band’s raw ability to pay tribute to a classic track by reshaping it with a modern twist. Listeners’ ears are swarmed by drums from Pat Mannella, guitar by Joey Petrarca, bass, and vocals from Elaina Whitesell, and keys by Broadway B. This immersive track lets listeners experience and embrace their twists and navigate their lives with Bowie-like bravery.

Magenta Moon seamlessly fuses indie rock, pop, and electronic elements, with a rich musical history that spans the United States. Whitesell, originally from Illinois, and Petrarca, hailing from Pennsylvania, met and connected in Boston, where they fell in love and began making music together. In September 2022, the group relocated to Los Angeles to further their creative pursuits. Their previous albums, Rapid When It Happens (2020) and I Brushed My Teeth; Let’s Make Love (2021), received critical acclaim from outlets like Dope Cause We Said, The 110 Pod, and R+ for their innovative sound and compelling storytelling. Their latest singles, “Perceive Yourself,” “Move Me,” and “More” have also been praised by Darkus Magazine, Music Connection, and Indie Midlands. They were also named one of Music Connection’s 2024 Hot 100.

An ode to David Bowie, the band filtered and fused their post-punk and modern pop sound to create a boundless track with a free spirit. Make sure to stay up to date with Magenta Moon on their Instagram @magentamoonparty and stream and download “Moonage Daydream” on all major streaming platforms.
