The Secret Machines
The Secret Machines open for Sonic Youth on
March 18 at the Gypsy Tea Room.
These local boys are poised for a breakthrough: After relocating from Dallas to New York in 2000—with a stop in Chicago to record the EP September OOO with the posse of players from that city’s Califone—the Secret Machines will release their major-label debut on May 18. Now Here Is Nowhere caters to fans of expansive, sharply grooving guitar-rock, as well as to those indiscriminate Best Buy shoppers perpetually on the prowl for young bands with major-label debuts. (Technically, May 18 could be today, since, in a rare and hopefully inspiring display of tech savvy, Reprise Records has made Nowhere available for download via thesecretmachines.com and the iTunes Music Store.) The record certainly sounds breakthrough-worthy: crash-and-burn guitar fuzz, widescreen production, a bass wallop perfect for blasting from your mom’s car after school. You know the drill: Catch ’em now before hipsters everywhere get the chance. —Mikael Wood
