Lounge Against the Machine

Aggressive nu-metal and alt-rock anthems reimagined as slick, synthesized Vegas lounge standards. A masterclass in ironic juxtaposition and deadpan swing.

October 17, 2000 · Oglio Records

A high-energy, tongue-in-cheek celebration of pop culture absurdity delivered with a tuxedoed wink.

Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring contrast of the smooth piano intro of 'Closer' followed by the most explicit lyrics of the 90s delivered with a wink.

The frantic swing-time breakdown in 'Guerilla Radio' that turns a protest anthem into a dance floor filler for a cruise ship.

The way 'Creep' is transformed from an alt-rock lament into a self-assured, slightly sleazy lounge standard.
