31st May, 2021: Secret Machines - s/t (alternative rock, 2008)

The term "underrated" has become a bit meaningless these days, but I'll throw it at an album like this. Not only are Secret Machines themselves underrated, as a beautifully creative band merging the post-punk revival indie rock scene with Floydian space rock and pseudo-krautrock rhythm, but this is underrated within their fanbase too. These songs are as catchy, groovy and hypnotic as the first two, and "The Walls Are Starting to Crack" may even be their best song. The use of pulsing 4/4 grooves and occasional big choruses are the real strength here, it's so refreshing to hear an indie rock group with such a grasp of rhythm-based interplay.

7.6 (6th listen)
