Magi Merlin – POWER HOUSE
With POWER HOUSE, Magi Merlin said screw the soft launch. Built from layered, distorted production and vocals that resist form, it’s an exploration of the internal architecture we all inhabit: the conflicting rooms of anger, fear, vanity, and ultimately, a reclaimed sense of power. It is a recognition that each person contains multitudes, and that they can all live in harmony at the same time.
Written from her bisexual/ENM perspective and her broader experience of existing as a woman in systems designed to flatten her, the album navigates the contradictions of seeking validation in both platonic and romantic contexts, deconstructing the “plastic confidence” we’re taught to wear. Merlin operates as co-producer and creative director, ensuring the visual world mirrors the music’s refusal to soften. It’s designed as a ‘living universe’ where every element, from sound to image to performance, is intentional and self-defined. This is her philosophy: real change starts small but sounds immense.
Throughout POWER HOUSE, Magi refuses to be flattened. She buries self-kindness under distorted synth. She won’t resolve tension into a chorus. The armour she wears is declaration, not defence. Her music splinters—jungle breaks bleeding into futuristic synths, ’90s house fractured by raw vocals. Her visual world is industrial, deliberate, refusing the consistency that makes things recognisable. She operates entirely outside of categories, including the alternative ones. POWER HOUSE is what it sounds like when someone refuses every uniform.
Magi Merlin will be touring both Europe and North America this summer and fall, including headline dates in Montreal (Foufounes Électriques, September 17) and Toronto (Adelaide Hall, October 14).
