After a slow gestation Mysteries, Machinemachine’s sophomore album, has hit stores today.
The Sydney quintet was recorded in a sandstone bunker in mid-2010 and completed at an urban warehouse in 2011. Producer Tim Kevin (Youth Group, Peabody) worked closely with Machinemachine founder and frontman Joseph Leonard to ensure the disc sounds just right.
The result is a kind of blue-eyed soul with some alluring rough edges. The first single “Daughter (still) Don’t Dance” hints at the energy we’ll see in the band’s live shows, but the track offers just one side of this complex disc.
If you want to experience that energy in the flesh make sure you get to Sydney’s Red Rattler on April 13 for Machinemachine’s Mysteries launch show.
