MACHINE forged Its sound over two Bukowski-like years in London, dragging a laptop and guitar between sofas and squats and becoming immersed in a cast of artists and villains across the city. The project finally crashed into an intense residence at the infamous Fortress Studios, Shoreditch in 2006 where - despite bad blood and personality disorders - a handful of outstanding pop songs emerged. Swinging from cinematic beauty to Killing-Joke-beating-on-Blondie malevolence, their debut single is out in September 2007 on Gronland records.
