Dezeen Music Project: The Introduction Of Strong Magic by Arms Were Youth

Australian musician Arms Were Youth has sent us a new track called The Introduction Of Strong Magic, which features pulsing synths and electronic drums over the top of a fractured acoustic guitar part.

Like Sharply Towards Hell, the previous Arms Were Youth track we featured on Dezeen Music Project, it takes a bit of listening to get accustomed to the different sounds, but the patience soon pays off.
