BREATHING STATUES (DLCD) (LTD) (CVNL)

Reigning in the melodic chaos of their previous works, the ?dystopian beats on Young Magic's second release Breathing ?Statues were conceived in a new series of experiments. ?Producer Isaac Emmanuel and vocalist Melati Malay pieced ?together the album over the past year while on tour - recording ?in Morocco, France, Czech Republic, Australia, Iceland and ?their home studio in New York.? ?As a result, Breathing Statues unfolds in labyrinthine fashion, its ?surreal lyrics and ghostly harmonies emphasizing the record's ?otherworldly intimacy, growing darker as the album progresses ?from the agile Fall In My Pool to the lurching chants of ?Mythnomer. In the spirit of the album's spontaneity, the band ?invited a harpist to improvise over their songs, layering celestial ?fragments over the record's cavernous beats. The album ?operates in these extremes, with the airiness of Malay's vocals ?set in sharp contrast with the claustrophobic doom of ?Emmanuel's warped percussion. With Breathing Statues, Young ?Magic's series of audio experimentations coalesce into a new ?holographic landscape, showing a band progressing with ?ambition towards a sound uniquely their own.?TRACKLISTING?1.
