Secret Machines

ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Revealing a sharp songwriting instinct and unfolding a distinct indie rock influence, Secret Machines unveil singular scenarios and refined tunes within the alternative pop/rock scene. Benjamin Curtis (guitar/vocals), Josh Garza (drums), and Brandon Curtis (bass/vocals) formed Secret Machines in the midst of summer of 2000, in Dallas, TX. The trio swiftly managed to create its own sounding marks, mostly due to a common musical and band experience. Before forming the Machines, the Curtis brothers played with the punk rock squad UFOFU; in addition, {$B...[more]

 

 

VINYL FORMAT. Secret Machines' main attraction is the more muscular sound, and how it complements the themes. The record is a logical creative step for The Secret Machines; it builds upon the foundation established with their previous albums, showing The Secret Machines have solidified as a band, even in metamorphosis. It's a nod ahead of, yet not a departure from, the psychedelic rock that has helped make the Dallas-bred NYC transplants a fan and critical darling in the U.S. and Europe.

Honed by the immediacy of playing an 18-month cross-country tour in support of their debut album, New York City-based Secret Machines blend songcraft and melody with their acclaimed power to sculpt epic, dreamy, neo-psychedelic soundscapes on their second full-length album, Ten Silver Drops. While still playing homage to experimentalist pop groups Kraftwerk, Neu and La Dusseldorf with effects laden, heavily processed guitars and primal, stomping drums, Secret Machines expand their universe to reveal    [ read more ]

Secret Machines are organic, ecstatic, hypnotic, and not a little bit psychedelic. On their debut full-length album, Now Here Is Nowhere, this adventurous trio recalls the warmth of Canadian rockers The Band to Neil Young, the progressiveness of Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Brian Eno, and the mechanical propulsion of classic Krautrock bands such as Neu and La Dusseldorf. Profoundly, inexplicably magical, Secret Machines will not be a secret for long.[ read more ]

"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.
