Tonight, Carpark’s latest signings Young Magic play Dalston’s newest venue, Birthdays, with Best Fit DJs also in attendance.
The band, who fuse Yeasayer-esque melodicism with rhythmic tics cribbed straight from Anticon’s instrumental catalogue, are celebrating the release of their excellent new album Melt.
Today we are pleased to give away a lovely package of Young Magic goodies, consisting of: a copy of the album on your choice of vinyl or CD, a pair of tickets to a European Young Magic show of your choice (dates below), and a copy of the incredibly limited edition cassette of b-sides, outtakes, and remixes.
To win, just tell us in the comments below the name of Young Magic’s debut album.
