The beginnings of Young Magic's new album, Still Life, coincided with singer Melati Malay revisiting her own, in her birthplace of Indonesia. Having lost her father the previous ye ar, she returned to Java to reconnect with her family, dig up stories, and begin work on a new collection of music. She rented a small shack for a month, and with just a backpack and microphone, began recording. Still Life is a deeply personal and idiosyncratic record, somewhere close to the enchanted electronic pop realms occupied by Bjork and Broadcast, yet unique to Young Magic. It inhabits a gorgeous, kaleidoscopic world, as delicate and intricate, as it is expansive and immersive. It walks the line between organic and mechanic, where dusty field recordings weave between warm Moogs and Prophets, where jazz breaks bump next to broken drum machines. It's meticulously crafted outsider pop, made by obsessives, for obsessives. Vinyl comes with a download card housed in a single sleeve.
