Beaten by Thems fifth release, Kinder Machines, could be one of the finest sounding records you will ever hear. Building on the college radio chart-topping successes of last years thumping Invisible Origins and ethereal follow-up People Start Listening, the San Francisco/Melbourne/New York ensembles latest offering is a joyous ride that was captured and mixed completely live to tape on a Northern Californian farm by Grammywinning engineer Oz Fritz (Tom Waits, Bill Laswell, The Ramones). Combining powerhouse drumming and percussion, intense bass and electronic layers, soaring cello and trumpet lines, keyboards and hypnotic acoustic guitar mantras, Kinder Machines is a triumphant musical statement that blurs musical boundaries. Presented in a beautiful individually numbered limited first edition hardcover digibook package
