This Machine

The Naked and Famous

Abrasive, guitar-driven indie rock from a band better known for synth-pop. Raw feedback, jagged rhythms, and basement-show grit define this early EP.

May 5, 2008 · Round Trip Mars

Find on Amazon

A nervous, high-tension energy that finds release in jagged guitar noise and driving rhythms.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden eruption of jagged guitar noise that cuts through the opening track's tension.
The motorik, driving drum beat on track 3 that feels like it's physically pushing you forward.
The five-minute sprawl of track 5 where the band trades their punk energy for a slow-burning atmospheric build.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
