Ubiquity Machine are just echoing the voice of many generations. They might be resonating with the thoughts of every freethinking human on Earth. If we are watching ourselves descend into dystopia, might as well make some music out of it. This band has only two songs out as yet, and they are bangers. This is their single, Radio.
This single already has 44k+ streams on Spotify. Being a very catchy song, or the incredible lyrics should do the trick. From the relatable lines that send a shiver down our spine to the Pixies like groove, we’re thoroughly sucked into this song. As you fall in love with that snare tone, you find a sudden shift taking you to a pop vibe. From grunge, you’re in a post rock, disco pop vibe. Almost mirroring the lyrics by notation, the switch comes back naturally. The layers meld in naturally, the radio becoming this being, signifying Big Brother. Ubiquity Machine just want you to recognize the Orwellian world you’re subjected to, the walls painted the colour of the sky. Very soon you never have to leave the room, or have original thoughts. It is a brilliant song that underlines the world we’re progressing towards.
Soylent Green is a movie that came to mind hearing this. The message and theme is quite on point, and also intersects with the audio experimentation of the decade. Ubiquity Machine are on the way to becoming a radio staple. Their other single is called Hey You, available on Spotify. Listen to their single and groove to the Machine!
