Reviews of "Breathing Statues" largely centered on the band's cinematic direction. "Q" described the album as "alternately dreamlike and arresting, they've discovered a formula that realizes the sonic sorcery always suggested by their name". "The 405" wrote: "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". On April 23, 2015, the group self-released the compilation album "Remixes Vol. 1", with contributions by Teebs, Matthewdavid, the Acid, Mark McGuire and Roland Tings. All proceeds for the album were donated to the Aboriginal Benefits Foundation, an organization working on art and health projects in Indigenous Australian communities. On May 13, 2016, Young Magic released their third studio album, "Still Life." The album was inspired by Malay's travels in her birthplace of Java, Indonesia. In "Interview" magazine, the singer explained, ""Still Life" can be one version of yourself, still like a painting, but on the other hand constantly recreating that version of yourself according to environmental, social, political influences in this world...a world where people constantly tell you who to pray to, what to buy into, and who your enemies should be. It's my reaction to that. Life, and yourself within it, is constantly going to be recreated, so there's no point in being steadfast in one ideology". Bolivian-born, New York City–based percussionist Daniel Alejandro Siles Mendoza, a contributor to the album, joined the band's touring line-up. The album also featured contributions from producer Rioux and cellist Kelsey Lu. In May 2016, the band supported Yeasayer on their North American tour. In June 2016, Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio released a remix for Young Magic's "Default Memory". During April and May 2018, the band supported UK trip-hop pioneer Tricky on his North American tour. On 5 August 2019, Tricky released a remix Young Magic's song "Lucien." The remix features on a 12" LP curated by Tricky and released on False Idols/!K7 Records
