Immaculate Machine — "Won't Be Pretty" B/W "Wo Xiang Tanbai"

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 3, 2008 2:35 pm
Last year, CBC Radio 3 host Grant Lawrence joked that Immaculate Machine's penchant for foreign languages might result in their next disc being recorded in Chinese. It would seem this British Columbian trio never shies away from a challenge because they re-recorded "Dear Confessor" with Mandarin lyrics to spite him. "Wo Xiang Tanbai" ("I Want To...

Ladyhawk Inspire Alcohol Abuse

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 24, 2008 1:30 pm
Hurled beer: It's a wasted resource, but an amusing spectacle — kinda like fireworks. At this point, any mention of alcohol in conjunction with Vancouver's Ladyhawk is bordering on cliche, but it would seem the association is unavoidable. When a show causes young men to shake up their beer and spray it all over fellow concert-goers, what can it...

Immaculate Machine — Fables

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) June 12, 2007 8:21 pm
Fans of Immaculate Machine's Ones And Zeros may find some initial disappointment with about half of the tracks on Fables, as the west coast threesome have decided to dial down the frenetic pace that marked the majority of the songs on that disc. After coming to terms with the shift in tempo, however, it becomes evident that even Fables'...

The New Pornographers Pop It Up A Notch

in
By Leah Collins (CHARTattack) October 13, 2006 4:30 pm
Some might have a fever for the cowbell, but if there was an instrument of choice on the Mint Records' 15th Anniversary Tour, it was the tambourine. It jangled constantly during sets from The Bicycles, Immaculate Machine, Novillero and headliners The New Pornographers. Whether smashed on a hip (The Bicycles) or employed doubly per song (Novillero...

Immaculate Machine — Oh No

in
By Bryan Borzykowski (CHARTattack) September 6, 2005 3:22 pm
Immaculate Machine, the latest addition to the Mint Record's roster, have their roots firmly planted in The New Pornographers' family tree. Not only is co-singer Kathryn Calder Carl Newman's long lost niece, but their sound treads very closely to Newman's sunny power pop. The result is several catchy tracks complete with intricate harmonies,...

Immaculate Machine — "Only Love You For Your Car"

in
By CHARTattack Staff August 20, 2009 12:24 pm
What would it look like if a bunch of nerdy kids on bikes showed up in the middle of a field dressed as vikings and proceeded to beat the shit out of each other? Immaculate Machine show us in their video for High On Jackson Hill's "Only Love You For Your Car," which, interestingly enough, contains no cars.
