Formed in 2012, John and Richard decided to try out a new fresh project beside their other bands. Machinista is the hyped-up result.
Already a live band outside of the native Sweden, the duo are no strangers to the music world, with their respective histories. Sweden and Synthpop go together like Coffee and Cream - Machinista have it all : Image, sound, style.
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 summer!
