""Machines Again" on the box. Cup of coffee in hand. What a grand Sunday morning!"
theHoseman"Machines Again was my first EA album, and it still amazes me to this day! Quirky, dark & original, it is truly the album of tomorrow. The gothic alt-country storytelling of the opening track features grungy dynamics leading into the bluesy hard rock of the next track. Rainwater's melancholy guitar serves as an apt intro to the dark, jazzy sounds of Rust and Mildew. It lightens up with a bluegrass jam & the upbeat synthpunk of track 9, before ending with an industrial bang. A high score for sure."
vaguelyhumanoid"I've been waiting for more "Arcade" and this was well worth it! "Rust and Mildew" with Aaron O'Blivion is outstanding and "The Ballad of Sasparilla Jones" is probably my current favorite song. Once again Eccentric Arcade shine a light on where the music industry aught to head! "
theHoseman"Utterly amazing! I definitely recommend this album! My personal favorite is Rainwater."
LovelessSounds"Eccentric Arcade is one of the best new bands in the biz! I give them such high accolades, because they continue to earn them. Their new release "Machines Again" is razor sharp with songs that are futuristic and retro all at the same time. Thus the steampunk utopia references in the liner notes. Songs like "Rust and Mildew" featuring Aaron O'Blivion (of Fait Accompli), the title track and "Grenades and Hammers" should bring a whole new legion of fans, and rightly so! This band earned em'!"
