New Sugary Sweet Machines LP 2014-09-09 by Nash J! | 37 Comments |
Industrial post-rock band, Sugary Sweet Machines, have announced the release of their sophomore
LP. Entitled Controlled Breathing, the album will be available for
streaming and download via bandcamp on Wednesday, September 10th, 2014.
Musically, Controlled Breathing is a departure from the band's noisy, chaotic debut.
Rather than being extremely experimental, Sugary Sweet Machines have chosen to take a
more focused approach. Although still dark and atmospheric, the album takes a much more
different approach than Tours of the Bleak by being more ambient-influenced and
making use of live instruments such as the viola. In addition, nearly every song on the album
features spoken word vocals, performed mostly by band member Erik Sheader-Smith.
Like their debut, Controlled Breathing is a concept album, but instead of having a
general concept the album follows a narrative storyline. Conceptually, the album takes
place in an industrialized, dystopian future in which the world has become grim and ugly. In
order to keep the people in line, the government issue sleeping pills that contain
prescribed dreams that allow the people to escape from their harsh reality every night. The
album is told in a first person perspective through the eyes of one man who decides
to stop taking his pills and have real dreams. As the album progresses, he begins to feel
contempt for the real world as he slowly loses his grip on reality. The story is told
through the lyrics of each song, labeled either "Dream" or "Awake."
In addition to detailing their upcoming album, Sugary Sweet Machines have released a music
video (shown below) for the song "Dream III" that reflects the album's concept. The
video will be included in the download for the album.
