Live Review: Severed Heads, Lucy Cliche, Young Magic, Nun, Ela Stiles, Terry, Shouse, Drug Sweat, Sweet Whirl
"Clearly influenced by the master class of MONA FOMA ... but it feels like a commercial radio version of it."
Album Review: Young Magic Melt Celline
In particular, Melati Malay’s Indonesian background influences the album in various ways, from song titles – Yalam, Jam Karet – to the incorporation of Asian musical elements as the basic pentatonic scale creeps up in certain songs including Watch For Our Lights and Sanctuary. A stunning debut.
