MAQUINA. drop the second single, ‘body control’, from their incoming album PRATA

Today Lisbon-based trio MAQUINA. drop the second single, ‘body control’, from their incoming album of high-octane, beat-led hedonism, ‘PRATA’, out April 5th on Fuzz Club and available to pre-order here

Drawing from minimal krautrock repetition, pounding EBM and industrial techno, MAQUINA. explore the boundaries of these genres with force – carving out an adrenaline-fuelled sound that’s as equally suited to dark, sweaty back rooms as to the dance floor. Today's new single, album opener ‘body control’, kicks off the record with a statement intent, building from a chugging, propulsive bassline, picking up speed before breaking into a frenzy of high-voltage chaos.

They write: “Where every beat becomes a testament to the language of movement, the lyrics are an ode to the body music - the devotion of the body for the music, the transmission of energy through the people when the music is played, the inexplicable synergy that it creates between the audience and the artist."On the accompanying video, the band add: "’body control’ is accompanied by a textured video inspired by abstract lighting. True to the concept, the video comprises improvised footage captured at clubbing nights and concerts, featuring only cuts devoid of transitions, a raw visual experience."

In support of the release, MAQUINA. are currently out on a Spain/Portugal headline run and will also soon head out on a wider European tour with A Place To Bury Strangers, followed by festival appearances lined up at Primavera Porto, Sonic Blast and Fuzz Club Festival.
