Formed in mid-2010 in Melbourne, MACHINE are an art-rock instrumental collaboration between Nils Arnold (Guitar), Vijay Singh (Drums) and Billy McCabe (Bass) - all formerly members of Sailors & Swine. Using simple, hypnotic beats, rolling bass grooves and waves of omnipresent, effected guitar, MACHINE set out to create up-beat soundscapes that are as intense as they are beautiful. Born from a mechanical pulse, the music floats along a stream of elegantly layered textures that allows each of these individual human elements to shine through organically. Whilst infused with elements of dance, shoe-gaze, electronic and minimalist genres, MACHINE remains some-what of an enigma, cold yet human, unchanging yet dynamic, intelligent yet beautifully simple.
