LA Duo My Satellite Returns with Maximalist Sophomore Album “Person” That Turns Relationship Evolution into Sonic Art.

After nearly a decade of sonic alchemy, Los Angeles-based psychedelic voyagers My Satellite have emerged from their creative chrysalis with ‘Person‘. This album takes the universal story of love and turns it into a magical hearing experience.

The record tells the story of a relationship’s ups and downs over the course of its lifetime. It sounds like Bryan Stage mixed Stevie Wonder’s emotional maximalism, Radiohead’s intellectual edge, and Tame Impala’s cosmic groove into one huge work.

“Person” stands out not only because of its ambition, but also because of how well it blends decades of musical impact. At one point, you are nodding along to smooth pop beats that sound like they belong on a summer road trip.

The next thing you know, you are in the middle of a storm of heavy instrumentals that sound like they came from another world where rock never died.

This duality is like the emotional complexity of relationships: they can be sweet, they can be crazy, but they are always interesting.

The idea behind the record was not just to make songs; it was to create an experience that reflects how random human connections are. Because they paid close attention to the rhythms and were not afraid to try new things, My Satellite made what they call “a singular work of art that is more than the sum of its parts.”

This song sounds a bit like a movie soundtrack. It is kind of like watching a Wes Anderson movie—everything is important, but there is still room for silly things to happen.

For example, the band worked on this project for eight years, changing parts and adding new ones until it felt right. That level of commitment is almost obsessed, but then again, love and grief are both obsessive.

“Person” does not try to be “too much” or “too strange,” which may be why it hits so close to home. Instead, it sees extravagance as a way to be honest.

Here’s the catch: no computer could copy the raw human emotion that flows through these songs. It has a warmth and a worn-in feel that robots can not copy. And that is a good thing, because no one wants a bot to write their breakup song.

In “Person”, fans of Glass Animals or Unknown Mortal Orchestra will feel like they have found an old mixtape they forgot they made. Its mix of old sounds and modern style makes for a listening experience that is both familiar and strangely new.

The record is the result of eight years of writing, redoing, mixing, and remixing. The band says it will leave fans “intact yet somewhere different from where you started,” which is a lot like the relationships it is about.
