"Secret Machines" possess a breadth of vision in their songwriting which is rare. The music unfurls sprawling landscapes where splashes of organ and shards of reverbed guitars lead the listener down a trippy path. If at first the Secret Machine¹s disposition is calm and reserved, it later expands, layer by layer, until their musical terrain becomes laden with colorful melodies, counter harmonies and coyly poignant lyrics. Allusions to OTC and SPIRITUALIZED/SPACEMAN THREE.
