IM FEATURED ON NYLON MAG'S SITE
Today we were a featured artist on Nylong Magazine's site. Nylon says "Instead of pigeonholing themselves in the indie scene of recent, they give the local low-fi punks a brainy makeover. Each track off their EP is thoughtfully composed and memorable." Click here to read the full write up. Thanks for the kind words Nylon!
IM EP OUT NOW!!!!!
In January of 2008 the members of Intricate Machines converged on an apartment in San Francisco. They cleared the living room, replaced couches with keyboards and tables with amps. They brought with them every instrument they owned from sleigh bells to tabla, to synths and an ill-fated flute.
This was the beginning of the six months of experimentation, which gave rise to the IM EP.
Only six months prior the band recorded their first record, The Whale EP, in a two day frenzy of live, full band takes. Their next release, the Don't Want You Back EP, was a series of home recordings of a single song as interpreted by three of the band members.
For their latest record IM sought a new approach. The goal: to deconstruct everything they had established and start fresh. They spent countless hours making sounds, recording melodies, and exchanging influences.
Over the next six months these sessions continued and, with the help of producer Aki Ehara, the IM EP began to take shape.
The IM EP is available now, and the band will be supporting its release with a tour at the end of July. Dates and show info will be posted soon on their site.
