First Look: Wave Machines
Back from paradise, back down to business. The Adriatic’s nothing but blue skies and sunshine this time of year, so it’s fitting we get back into the swing of things by talking about Wave Machines, whose debut single “I Go I Go I Go” brings summertime in spades and then some. Released next week by our friends at Chess Club (so you already know it’s a winner), “I Go I Go I Go” is all bouncy guitars, glitchy basslines and catchy-as-fuck vocals, all converging to create what’s more or less the perfect summer single. The track sounds like the best song Architecture In Helsinki never recorded, but lest you think Wave Machines are a one-trick pony, hit their MySpace and take likely follow-up single “Punk Spirit” for a walk, which replaces all the buoyant optimism of “I Go” with a darker, more brooding vibe. Like the Chess Club singles for White Lies and Post War Years before it, this limited-to-500 release might not even survive pre-orders, so act fast and get on this shit.
