In 2010, Isaac Emmanuel had left Australia to travel across Europe, over to New York, and down through Mexico, recording music with whatever he found along the way. While in Mexico, he kept a tight correspondence with musician Michael Italia, who for months had been traveling across Europe and South America with recording gear in tow. They decided to meet up in NYC, where Indonesian-born vocalist Melati Malay, had been living and recording. In 2011 the three friends, who had initially bonded over their broad musical palettes, began recording together and finding their own footing among them. The fruitful collaboration brought forth singles "Sparkly", "You With Air" and "Night In The Ocean," all of which were indicators of the band's chameleonic sound, heavily informed by West African rhythms, Brainfeeder hip-hop, UK bass, and 60s psychedelic soul. Young Magic's full-length debut, Melt, expands on their varied aesthetic, at once electronically sequenced and completely organic.
