[2] The duo have released mixtapes in collaboration with London-based visual artist Leif Podhajsky,[3][4] who is also responsible for the band's album cover artwork.

[5] They have collaborated with American composer Kelsey Lu, UK trip hop pioneer Tricky, and have been sampled by Purity Ring and Playboi Carti.

The New York Times described the music on Melt as "Lush and immersive, on Young Magic's debut the reverb ripples, synthesizers swoop, quasi-tribal percussion crunches and plinks and voices ooh and ah in washes of harmony."

The BBC described the debut as "music that waxes and wanes, and explodes; and a great spirit which, rather than confine itself to basements and bedsits, aims its sights on the heavens".

[13] During 2013, Young Magic toured with Purity Ring and also made festival appearances at Lowlands, Austin Psych Fest and The Brooklyn Museum.

[14] One week prior to its official release, a stream of the album was announced by the Fader, which also noted that it was made "in Morocco, France, the Czech Republic, Australia and Iceland.

Primarily, it relies on metallic-sounding percussion, synth motifs, brittle and recurring samples" and The 405 as "a more cohesive body of work, it demonstrates maturity, and a confidence in their passion for detail, preferring to construct layers, textures and cinematic soundscapes".

[8] Melati Malay is also a member of Asa Tone, a collaboration with New York electronic music producers Kaazi and Tristan Arp.
