Hailing from Orlando, this enigmatic quintet - comprised of vocalist Joshua Roberts, guitarists Tristan Torres and Freddie Criales, drummer Joe Horsham, and keyboardist Vincent Ernst - has become synonymous with pushing musical boundaries. With the release of their latest project, Halloween Mixtape II, Magnolia Park take us on a sonic journey unlike any other.

Building upon the foundation laid by their 2022 debut LP, Baku's Revenge, Halloween Mixtape II serves as a spiritual successor to their 2021 Halloween Mixtape, diving deeper into the fictional universe inhabited by their vividly crafted characters. From Baku to the Reaper, Magnolia Park weave a colorful web of tales, each track serving as a soundtrack to their elaborate narratives.

Drawing inspiration from an eclectic array of influences, including the likes of Gorillaz, anime, and the dark whimsy of Tim Burton's creations, Magnolia Park's genre-bending approach transcends conventional labels. Their sound, a kaleidoscope of pop, punk, nu-metal, hip-hop, and 2000s theater-emo, is a testament to their diverse musical backgrounds and collaborative spirit.

"We wanted to push the boundaries even further with Halloween Mixtape II," guitarist and songwriter Tristan Torres explains. "This time around, we explored more aggressive sounds and experimented with genres like phonk and metal. The result is a collection of tracks that are raw, visceral, and unapologetically bold."

Collaborating with esteemed producers Andrew Wade and Andy Karpovck, Magnolia Park honed their vision, crafting an album that is both immersive and electrifying. Each member brings their unique perspective to the table, resulting in a rich tapestry of sound that defies categorization.

Tracks like "Animal," featuring rapper Ethan Ross and dark-pop singer PLVTINUM, showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend disparate elements into a cohesive whole. With Joshua Roberts' powerful vocals leading the charge, the band delivers an adrenaline-fueled anthem that leaves a lasting impression.

Elsewhere, on "Antidote," they join forces with alternative-pop sensation Kailee Morgue, delivering a hauntingly beautiful meditation on love and loss. With its infectious melodies and haunting lyrics, the track is a standout moment on the album, showcasing Magnolia Park's versatility and songwriting prowess.
