This month song celebrates some convergence of Record Machine artists. Our artist Sam Billen put together a sweet little remix for Capybara's The Wimp. We thought it would be a great way to celebrate two things. 1) Sam's new album Headphones and Cellphones comes out on the 27th 2) We were in need of a kick off to our Capybara - The Wimp Remix Competition. What?! What's that you say Remix Competition ? We decided to put together a sweet competition for all of you to enjoy. [...]

Capybara - "Soft" Clean playing, clean notes, clean leaves and clean breath. Animated rose envelopes, eloquent children and light breakfast. Sparse decoration, felted palms, thoughts like open windows and sidewalk sales. GUI, "phooey", and donc . The smell of pine and pining. Capybara - "Happiness / Let Child Roam" I feel it would be wrong to say the alphabet was "invented". It seems more appropriate to say it was "discovered". There doesn't seem to be a sound missing to convey any English thought imaginable. At the [...]

We have launched a brand new sampler where you can stream and download tracks from several of our upcoming records. Check it out over at www.therecordmachine.net/sampl er . Next week is our second A Night of Record Machine-ness in Kansas City for the summer. The last one was a great sucess. We had about 200 or more people packed into Bryce's house for so much fun they almost fined us. This time we are having it at a proper venue: The Czar Bar. It will be to celebrate Perhapsy coming to Kansas [...]

Got a pretty solid sampler pack from The Record Machine , the label that's home to Max Justus, Sam Billen, Capybara, Interstates and so on. I think the email I received was mainly for the promotion of Max Justus, but I gravitated more to the "out of genre" goods. See said goods below and get the whole 10 track sampler here . I'm pretty pumped for what this label has to offer in the coming months, that sampler sucked me right in ( #promotionwin ). The Billen Brothers - Little Russia [...]

Our good friends Capybara have only been a band for a few short months but they have already recorded their first full length Try Brother. They find themselves at a convergence of indie rock styles. Not afraid to try on one sound or another but doing it in such way to make it their own. At times you find them touching on sounds that are more delicate and other times you find them full of energy. It is exciting to hear a band being this dynamic and energetic at such an early point in their career. Keep your [...]
