San Francisco’s Magic Fig will release their debut full length album, Valerian Tea, this Friday, November 21, 2025 via Exploding In Sound Records. The Psych-Pop group’s new collection touches on “memory, myth, and melancholy.” The single and video for “Goblin” are out now.

Inna Showalter describes “Goblin” as being:

About the fickleness of inspiration. It’s also a song about wearing disguises and not being authentic, which causes harm in the long run. The desire to be accepted and ‘good’ cannot always coexist with following your heart.

Composed of Inna Showalter (vocals/mellotron), Jon Chaney (keys), Muzzy Moskowitz (guitar), Matthew Ferrara (bass) and Taylor Giffin (drums) the Psych-Pop group features members of The Umbrellas, Healing Potpourri, Almond Joy, Whitney’s Playland, and Blades of Joy.
