Liverpool's Wave Machines match the video-game synth sound of the latest single from their sophomore record Pollen , with equally futuristic visuals. The plodding layers of electronic sounds are neatly married to the floating journey from a Jurassic underworld all the way to the edges of the universe, as smooth vocals [...]
. Música nova do MGMT ? Infelizmente ainda não, mas esta é exatamente a primeira impressão que você vai ter ao ouvir "Ill Fit", o primeiro single do Pollen , segundo disco dos britânicos Wave Machines . Os vocais em falsete remetem na hora os de Andrew VanWyngarden, e os sintetizadores minimalistas, aliados à um baixo pegajoso, não se distanciam das produções lo-fi do Oracular Spectacular e nos fazem imaginar uma versão de "Electric Feel" reimaginada pelo Prince . O vídeo, que mescla imagens de construções com efeitos caleidoscópicos contribuem [...]

Avant de reprendre la route de la Route du Rock de la route de fabrice D'hiver, un petit retour rapide sur la soirée d'hier soir à La Cigale. La soirée commençut avec les rennais de Popopopops. Je ne sais pas trop quoi dire de leur prestation à part que je n'ai vraiment accroché que sur leur final = un My Mind Is Old sobre et réussi. Après une pause au bar, les Wave Machines arrivent. J'ai bien cru qu'ils allaient nous la jouer Buzzcocks [...]

Jusqu'à présent, je n'ai rencontré que des gens déçus par le nouveau Wave Machines . A chaque fois, je me suis permis de leur conseiller de le réécouter, posément et plusieurs fois... Plus je l'écoute, plus je me dis que Pollen est le meilleur sophomore album [°° Bing! +747 au jeu du rock critique °°] que j'ai entendu depuis un nathalie bail. Il n'a cependant pas la même évidence que leur premier Wave If You're Really There [...]

GoldFlakePaint is very pleased to bring you We Have Band ' s somewhat intoxicating take on the brilliant I Hold Loneliness; a track taken from the new Wave Machines album, which dropped last week via Neapolitan/PIAS. Pollen is the bands first new material since their critically-acclaimed debut album, Wave If You're Really There, and this remix lands just as the band head out on a UK tour in support of said record. The tour starts in Bath tonight and ends in Southampton on February 7th. For [...]

Reference Points is the weekly column where we get the chance to ask our favourite artists to reveal what inspires them from outside the world of music. This week, we catch up with Liverpool's Wave Machines to hear about the striking inspiration that can be drawn from your surroundings.

By Richard Wink January 23, 2013 I tend to find myself struggling to ‘use’ music in the same way I used to. As a motivating force I could face work off the back of a hearty mix of abrasive guitars and big beat braggadocio. The melancholy moments in my life could be embraced when sitting back with a glass of whisky and some forlorn voice from the Sixties serenading me about true love. Like many things, it comes and it goes; the moments when I have been wholly affected by the wonder of music [...]

It's been just over three years since Liverpool art pop quartet Wave Machines released their debut Wave If You're Really There , a record that received endless praise for its marriage of alternative funk-infused rhythms with a pop sensibility rarely seen from a UK band. With a debut so heavily individualistic and eclectic, Wave Machines' virtual vanishing act post WIYRT is no surprise; this is a band that clearly treats each creative aspect with the utmost precision (and naturally a sophomore offering is something that no band chooses to take lightly). In addition the band have enlisted [...]

On the face of it, it might not seem particularly remarkable that Wave Machines ' debut record, Wave If You're Really There , flew almost entirely under the radar back in 2009; an endearingly eccentric effort that veered between irresistible indie pop and more pensive slow burners, it was by no means that year's most obvious crossover candidate. That said, the subsequent success of some of their contemporaries should give them great encouragement ahead of the release of second LP Pollen ; Wild Beasts , another band reliant [...]

Ce dimanche sera diffusée sur la vénérable radio 666 une émission d'une heure avec Xavier de Tahiti 80 . Le concept: Xavier a choisi dans la discothèque de votre serviteur des disques dont les pochettes étaient ornées (61) d'un ou plusieurs mammifères. J »aimerais dire 1) que je suis à l'origine du concept mais nan, c'est lui et 2) que j'en ai aussi choisi un ou deux, dont un titre du grandiose Fosbury de Tahiti 80. [...]
Wave Machines make ill music that feels just right. The single "Ill Fit" off their EP of the same name is a slinky, sultry song with airy vocals that you'll want to wrap yourself around in. Hailing from Liverpool, England the boys teamed up with producer Lexxx (Gwilym Gold, Wild Beasts) on this sultry track.

Le Dedale se diversifie. On s'ouvre à de nouveaux styles, parfois, on accueille des petits nouveaux, régulièrement, et on délaisse peu à peu notre chère cité strasbourgeoise d'origine, tissant notre toile ci et là, nous sociabilisant avec des terrifortains, parfois, des lyonnais, bien sûr, des libanais, aussi, et désormais des nantais. C'est que la musique est universelle et le point de vue strictement strasbourgeois n'a pas forcément d'intérêt... On sait d'où on vient mais c'est pas pour autant qu'on y reste(ra) indéfiniment ! Pour ce nouveau live report , un point de vue nantais sur [...]

Jeudi dernier à la Capitale y avait un choix pas facile à faire : aller à la Gaité Lyrique voir Dirty Projectors aller à la Maroquinerie voir Wave Machines aller quelque part fêter les anniversaires de Guy Roux, JCVD et Sylvie Joly Dumber et nrdlm ont choisi le 1) et m'est avis qu'ils ont eu tort (et sans compte rendu de leur part je ne risque pas de changer d'avis). Avec magalie, er123, ma bourgeoise et des copaings on a choisi [...]
