Early Press:
"Beautiful debut...a story of love and sacrifice...Delivers the haunted resilience of someone who has found self-acceptance." - London in Stereo
“Recalling Torres and Sharon Van Etten at their most intimate moments...Magana’s parched vocal is a complete heartbreaker.” - The Line of Best Fit
“There's something beautiful in finding what you want and demanding it, and Magana perfectly captures that.” - The Grey Estates
“Magana enters the scene guns blazing with the simple request to be the real deal or no deal at all.” - IMPOSE
“Through music I have learned the shape of desire – contoured and faceted, with the texture of velvet and the sheen of spilt oil on the blacktop. In Magana I feel it again.” - Collapse Board
"Golden Tongue has enough range of emotion and musical variety to engage the attention from start to finish, and it feels like a journey in a way that many full albums fail to...It sounds like the birth of a new star." - Musos' Guide
“Jeni’s voice is entirely her own.” - For the Rabbits
"I truly can’t wait to hear what she does next." - VAMP
"A whisper in your ear, bedroom acoustics performer who has broken out from the background of being a session musician to taking centre stage." - Bearded Magazine
"When I hear a song like this, I start believing there is a primal source of strength that music, but only some music, manages to channel into the outer world. Magana does that." - Beautiful Freaks
"I could see her (right now) opening up for St. Vincent on her next tour. Yes that should happen. It feels right to me. After that I want to hear Magana's full length." - American Pancake
