MAQUINA.
Share new single “misfit”
Limited edition 12″ vinyl out October 31st via Fuzz Club
Playing live throughout the Autumn
Lisbon trio MAQUINA. return with new single “misfit”, online and to be released on October 31st via Fuzz Club on a limited 12”. The 12″ comes with a fold-out film poster and backed by a club-ready remix courtesy of Parisian electronic duo Leroy se Meurt on the flipside.
Clocking in at nearly 9 minutes of raw, driving power, “misfit” is a menacing, slow-grinding clash between floor-shaking EBM and industrial krautrock repetition. It arrives following their 2024 ‘PRATA’ LP, the recent vinyl reissue of their debut ‘DIRTY TRACKS FOR CLUBBING’ LP and in the midst of relentless touring across Europe and the UK – including festival appearances at Primavera Porto, Eurosonic, Roadburn, Trans Musicales, Leffingeleuren, Into The Great Wide Open, Sonic Blast, Grauzone and lots more announced for this Autumn.
“This song was created with the idea of a soundtrack for a horror movie in mind”, MAQUINA. say: “We were invited to record a track right after finishing the recording of our second album PRATA. At the time, we didn’t have any song or idea ready, but we accepted the challenge. Around that period, Boy Harsher had released ‘The Runner’ and was putting out ‘My Animal’, which was very inspiring for us to start shaping our ideas. It was also a time when we were watching a lot of horror films, and I think all of that combined helped the idea develop naturally. The song tells a story of a hunt, an evil mind; perhaps a stalker, or simply paranoia. PLAY IT LOUD!”
MAQUINA. once again deliver with this audacious and immense release. The riveting bass churning the intensity, with the hard-hitting percussive beat, the track’s introduction to the boisterous tonality is truly gripping. The track continues to evolve and grow with these infectious layers and effects, and the attitude of this outfit dazzles. The hypnotic rhythms expand to these angular outbursts and this track provides a fun and colossal yet challenging journey.
