The body of indie rockers Immaculate Machine, collectively missing for a while now, was discovered late Tuesday night.
While the band’s members — like Kathryn Calder, for instance — have been touring behind solo projects and with other acts, they had not been seen together as a cohesive whole for some time.
“It took a while to admit to ourselves that we had broken up, but we have all shifted our priorities to other projects,” a note posted on the band’s website Tuesday night reads.
The note seems to indicate involvement with other projects was the chief cause of death.
“With the fracture of the original lineup, the motivation to continue Immaculate Machine waned. It was time to redirect our efforts to new things,” it states.
Immaculate Machine launched into the world in 2001 and were were created by Brooke Gallupe, Kathryn Calder and Luke Kozlowski. Their The View debut EP came out in 2003, and was followed by their Transporter debut LP a year later. They then birthed 2005′s Ones And Zeroes, 2007′s Immaculate Machine’s Fables and 2009′s High On Jackson Hill.
That same year, Kozlowski departed the band, and guitarist Jordan Minkoff and part-time keyboardist/percussionist/vocalist Leslie Rewega joined the group.
Immaculate Machine are survived by Calder’s solo projects and her work in The New Pornographers with her uncle, Carl Newman, Gallupe’s comics (which have been published in Chart magazine), Kozlowski’s new band Aquitania and Minkoff’s Slam Dunk.
