All that bland indie folk rock and sound-alike DJ stuff got ya yearning for something a little more distorted? Twangy? Epic? The stream-of-consciousness nomads that are Secret Machines are here to take you away on a sojourn of the soul, and while their wanderings may appeal more to the prog-rock crowd who more appreciate the exploratory experimentalism of guys like The Mars Volta or Sparta, they are neither as, er, prolific, nor as melodic (which is perhaps for the best). They’ve already jammed with Ringo Starr on a cover of “I Am the Walrus” for the movie Across the Universe, and now with Rolling Stone’s official endorsement of them as “part Pink Floyd psychedelia, Led Zeppelin, The Who-inspired choruses,” they may be inextricably tied to the bands of prog-esque past. Listen for yourselves on The Red Bull Music Academy and see if they’re the real deal or just rehashed–you might be pleasantly surprised.
