RibbonMusicispleasedto announce the new full-length album from BlackDice 'Mr. Impossible', to be released on April 9th 2012. 

For over fifteen years, the New York based trio of Eric Copeland, Bjorn Copeland and Aaron Warren have released on various iconic labels (Gravity, 31g,Troubleman, dfa, Paw Tracks) leaving a trail of music from raw brutal thrash to inside-out pop anthems. Using videos, live projections, and printed ephemera, the band has developed an over the top psychoactive audio-visual aesthetic that twists the useless pop sights and sounds we are bombarded with into infectious new strains of music and imagery that ooze a rock and roll spirit. Mr. Impossible is the band’s sixth full length, and their first release on Ribbon Music - an irreverent, aggressive, hand-made aesthetic that simultaneously revels in and reconfigures the whole of popular culture.

A special versionof 'Mr. Impossible' has been hand-numbered and individually screenprinted personally by the band, this edition is limited to 350 copies.

Listen to a brand new Black Dice track and the album opener 'Pinball Wizard'.

Although now firmly settled in New York City, Young Magic’s three members came together through equal helpings of openness and fortuity. In 2010, singer and producer Isaac Emmanuel had left his home continent of Australia to travel across Europe, over to New York, and down through Mexico, all the while creating and recording music with whatever instruments he found along the way. While in Mexico, Emmanuel kept a tight correspondence with fellow Australian expat Michael Italia, who for months had been similarly traveling across Europe and South America with portable recording gear in tow. They decided to meet up in New York, where their good friend from a few years prior, Indonesian-born vocalist Melati Malay, had been living and making her own recordings. In early 2011 the three friends, who had initially bonded over their broad musical palettes, began recording together and contributing songs to the record, culling influences and finding their own footing among them.

Young Magic release their album Melt on 14th February 2012 on Carpark Records. More information
