Los Angeles electropop act able machines announce new album 'Digital Precision'
Los Angeles electropop act able machines (vocalist Tay Côlieé and producer Linus Dotson) will deliver their sophomore album in late September.
Announced today, Digital Precision will be released on September 29. The 12-track album was self-produced by the duo with Seth Earnest (Tessa Violet) handling mixing and Paul Logus (Anthrax, Notorious B.I.G.) taking control of mastering.
When it comes to putting together the new album, Côlieé said:
“I think for both of us, writing this album was a cathartic purging of emotions. Each song is a little glimpse into the inner workings of our brains and how we navigate the tangled dynamics of angsty love.
Stylistically, this second album gave us an opportunity to dive deeper into developing our sound. We had fun pulling elements from our background in different musical genres — like my love of Fiona Apple and Elliot Smith, Linus’ punk/metal upbringing and then melding all that into the electropop sphere.”
A new single from the album titled “Evidence” arrives with a music video self-directed by the act. Dotson said this about working on the visual:
"It was the perfect opportunity to put our 3 “band chihuahuas” in the video as the K-9 Unit. We found an old audio parts manufacturing lab in East LA and it was the perfect location for our crime lab."
Côlieé also said:
"The production had so many moving parts, rather than just Linus and I winging it, we had so many opportunities to plan and add little Easter eggs in every scene — like hiding our song lyrics in the love letters and having our logo appear in subtle places.”
Pre-saves for Digital Precision, which includes the previously released singles “Watch The World Die” and the title track, can be made here.
able machines will hold a record release show for Digital Precision at Gold Diggers (5632 Santa Monica Blvd) on September 6 with MODERNS and Active Decay. Tickets for this show are on sale to the general public here.
