Press Release AnalogueTrash Records are proud to announce that Swedish electropop sensations Machinista are back with their second album, Garmonbozia, the follow-up to 2014’s critically-acclaimed Xenoglossy. Featuring the sublime vocals and brilliant, soul-searching lyrics of John Lindqwister (Cat Rapes Dog, Basswood Dollies) and the sweeping, driving beats and synths of Richard Flow (Vision Talk, Haze For Sale), Garmonbozia is a collection of 10 tracks of unique melancholic, dark synthpop/electronica with an almost effortless grace and beauty. Mixed, produced and recorded by the band themselves, Garmonbozia is an instant classic, hooking the listener from the first few seconds of “Picture Frame Eternity” right until the final refrain of “Train” and is sure to win the band many new fans, as well as pleasing those that have already discovered this up-and-coming Swedish act, who are going from strength to strength. See what the hype is about for yourself on June 15th when the album will be released worldwide. For fans of Code 64, Alphaville, Seabound, Rotersand, Advance, In Strict Confidence, Hurts and Duran Duran.

Press Release Xenoglossy - The art of speaking or writing in a language unknown to the Orator. Somewhat appropriate for a band already ripping apart Synthpop boundaries, Machinista sprint across the finish line with "Xenoglossy", before "Arizona Lights" even approaches the final hurdle. Anticipated hotly since the EP debuted in March, "Xenoglossy" acts on the back of one of the biggest selling records we've ever worked with. To somewhat counter-balance the tracklisting of the EP, "Xenoglossy" comes with 11 original tracks (closing with a popular cover of David Bowie's "Heroes", and NO remixes - we already have some in the works for a later release. Crowd favourite "Molecules and Carbon" finally gets a release, and is arguably the closest thing to a traditional Synthpop track that Machinista will ever compose. Surrounded by the four originals from "Arizona Lights", "Xenoglossy" is a statement of intent and an exercise in creativity. Synth-heavy tracks are sandwiched between more acoustic numbers, giving Richard and John a golden opportunity to showcase their talent. The launch show in England blew the crowd away, and the three-dimensional performance and demand for an encore reinforced just how popular Machinista already are, and with "Xenoglossy" sure to sell out in record time, get ready for one of the synth anthems of the summ...
Press Release John Lindqwister (Cat Rapes Dog, Basswood Dollies) and Richard Flow (Vision Talk, Haze For Sale) return to the music business with a collaboration under the name of 'Machinista'. Sweden is somewhat of a serious machine in the Synthpop world right now, and our latest revelation are seeking to capitalise on this - and take a few scalps in the meantime. Having recently supported Swedish darling Henric De La Cour, and embarking on the first of many UK shows in March, we are proud to unveil the debut release by the duo : "Arizona Lights". Loosely themed around the extra-terrestrial, the package hints at the concept of UFOs and Abductions - but doesn't deter too much from the task at hand. "Arizona Lights" is very much a teaser EP, with four original tracks designed to introduce Machinista, and give but a brief glimpse of what this duo really can do. Remixes from four of our most talented artists, and Swedish synth-wave project "Not Lars" make up the 10 tracks on offer here - and, rather unlike anything we've done before, you even get a rare Acoustic version of a Machinista classic. Releasing on March 7th (2 days before the integral London show), this Digipak release is extremely limited, and is certain to sell extremely quickly.
