POLYMOON release new single I End, You Begin – first glimpse of upcoming album Mariposa Magic!
Finnish psychedelic rock innovators POLYMOON released their new single I End, You Begin. Intense, explosive, and fast-paced, the track serves as the first release from the band’s forthcoming third album Mariposa Magic!.
I End, You Begin is an energetic and direct piece driven forward by accelerating momentum and bursts of force. Riff-driven, intense, and concise, the track stands apart from the band’s earlier work and marks a powerful return — a bold way to kick the doors open and reveal what the band has been working on.
The song originated from an idea developed early in the album process but only found its final form towards the very end of the recordings. From the beginning, the goal was clear: to create a piece as intense and explosive as possible, with energy at its core.
Thematically, I End, You Begin moves through shades of love, desire, and ecstasy. It portrays a deep and intimate connection between two people — both emotional and physical — where boundaries begin to blur and the experience feels almost like breathing: inevitable, consuming, and continuous.
On Mariposa Magic!, POLYMOON expand and deepen the psychedelic post-gaze sound they first introduced on Caterpillars Of Creation and Chrysalis. The album is produced by Juho Vanhanen, best known as the frontman of Oranssi Pazuzu, who also worked on the band’s debut Caterpillars Of Creation. Under his guidance, the band broaden their sonic palette while sharpening their distinct identity. The result is an ambitious body of work that further establishes POLYMOON as one of the most distinctive voices in modern psychedelic rock.
Across Mariposa Magic!, shimmering guitars, hypnotic textures, and organically flowing rhythms come together in compositions that feel less like individual tracks and more like immersive experiences. The music unfolds in layers: melodies emerge gradually, expand, and dissolve into a wider, radiant soundscape. The result is a sense of movement and weightlessness that deepens with each listen.
The band’s precise and accomplished musicianship is balanced by a dreamlike, fluid approach, where detail and atmosphere exist seamlessly side by side. The album fulfills the promise of their earlier work and presents POLYMOON as a fully realized entity — confident, ambitious, and unafraid.
Mariposa Magic! is an album to inhabit: rich in detail, endlessly replayable, and rewarding the listener with new shades and moments each time it spins.
