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.

It's not uncommon to form a band while in college, and that is exactly what Quilt did. Its founding members, Shane Butler and Anna Fox Rochinski were visual art students at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, but bonded over their mutual love of weird, experimental jams and classic pop harmonies. John Andrews joined the band as drummer after opening for every Quilt show on tour in 2009. Butler grew up in a "community with a lot of musical chanting" and Rochinski was "doing classical singing in choirs that had a lot of crazy harmonies. There's a lot of repetitive, almost mantra stuff in our songs," she adds. Quilt is a band with strong roots that formed at the apex of the point in your life when you're thinking about your own art and what it all means.
