These Dead Machines – ‘Any Minute Now’

Hailing from Manchester, These Dead Machines has unveiled the unique and captivating album, ‘Any Minute Now’. This alternative rock release is a must-listen, offering a sound that sets it apart from the rest!

‘Subatomic Heart’ opens the release to driving beats and instantly engages from the get-go. We adore the ever-evolving arrangement that pulls the listener in and holds our attention effortlessly.

‘Phantoms’ is a standout song complete with dynamic melodies, thought-provoking lyrics, and driving beats.

In addition, ‘Heartstrings’ takes the album in a fresh direction, keeping the audience on their toes. The magnetic melodies and thoughtful lyrics are powerful and stay with the audience long after the music has ended.

Moreover, ‘Signals’ is our favourite track; the textured instrumentation and charismatic performances fill the sonic spectrum with vivid colour. There is an innovative vibe to the song too.

‘Long Shadows’ closes the release and brings the album full circle. ‘Any Minute Now’ is a rich collection of songs that needs to be heard in one sitting, so turn the lights down and the volume up!

Finally, the mix, production and master of ‘Any Minute Now’ have been executed well. We adore the punchy instrumentation that has space in the mix and shines bright.

Album

‘Any Minute Now’ is a reason why we know the full album release will never die. It is a collection of ten superb tracks that shine brightly separately but come together to form a much richer tapestry of work.

2020

These Dead Machines, a project that emerged during the challenging lockdowns of 2020, is the brainchild of musician Dan. Following the disbandment of Dan’s previous band, Mark of 1000 Evils, These Dead Machines is a must-hear music project quickly gaining momentum.

We are excited to have discovered These Dead Machines and can not recommend ‘Any Minute Now’ highly enough. We look forward to hearing what will come next. Set aside time to immerse yourself in this excellent album fully this December!
