YOUNG MAGIC / QUILT
BOGAN VIA
Watch & Listen Australian import Young Magic, made up of Isaac, a portable studio and numerous friends, currently resides in New York City. For the last six months, Young Magic has been recording songs in various places to add to the song’s unique and organic psychedelic sound. Sounds sampled from old spy bases in Berlin to children’s playgrounds in Melbourne to flats in New York City were all integrated into creating these songs. In Young Magic’s first single, “You With Air”, the listener is taken on a journey to a place where young children are playing and laughing while Isaac’s vocals add a layer of soul creating a perfect combination of modern-day drum beats and matter of fact lyrics.
When kids from the 80s dreamed about people from the 60s thinking about life in the future.
Album out on Mexican Summer!
Bret Bender and Madeleine Miller are the indie pop duo Bogan Via. They self-recorded and self-released five amazing songs earlier this year via bandcamp that have resulted in quite a bit of blog attention and growing recognition here in Phoenix. Bender and Madeleine started recording a new batch of songs (and a few off of the original EP) at Flying Blanket Recording in July, the result of those sessions is the EP Wait Up, which was released on October 29th. Prior to the EP release, local AZ promoter Jeremiah Gratza released one of the songs, “TES”, on 7” baby pink vinyl with a remix by Miniature Tigers as the B-side. A few other remixes are in the works that will be announced shortly and made available as promotional MP3s. Along with recording and preparing for the release of their new EP, Bogan Via have stayed busy playing bigger and bigger live shows in Phoenix, including opening for national acts like Twin Shadow and White Arrows. Also in the works is a soon to be premiered video for “Afternoon Wonderland”, one of the songs from the original EP that was re-recorded for Wait Up.
