La Need Machine - I Wish I Could Fly
The latest release- I Wish I Could Fly by La Need Machine has us transported back into the mid and late 2000s with the many key variations the band played. We must appreciate the cover art for this track, it already puts us in the mood to hear the track. The innocence that oozes and gushes out of this number has your heart melting. This track is fairly simple. What makes it unique is the taste of sunlight that fills your mouth as you hear their track. The track starts off all positive and bubbly, almost has us imagining the video ourselves. I see a coming-of-age story and a love story in it as well. Everything about this song screams Y2K. The chord progression, the layering of backup sounds and even the orchestra itself. The duo singing has us thrown into the good times in high school. All this imagery that pops up in our heads as we hear the song is mainly because of the brilliant writing that is present in the songs. The music direction on this track is wonderful and intricate enough for us to catch a lot of it! I can already imagine this track play in whichever interpretation of Princess Diaries that involves EDM. To be honest, the wonderful imagery has us imagining the track in so many moves, specifically in animated films like Shrek. This band is truly something, their craft and chemistry shines through all their work. Click on the link above and give all your heart to La Need Machine.

La Need Machine - The Mountain
La Need Machine opens up a time machine and gives us a raw and evocative rendition of the heart's desire in The Mountain. The band has a distinguished sense of creating, and their work constantly shines a light on their chemistry. Having tracks that range from folk to country, the band has its own brand of sounds. It draws you in as a listener. So, allow yourself to drift away into the caves of wander as they take us higher and higher up this mountain of a song. The track has a perfect take-off section with the drums, and they waste no time. The gears are set into motion with the full-bodied instrumental that rushes in after the drums. It propels the listeners deeper into the realm of the song. While they do this with speed, it never takes you away from the soothing nature of the song. They also have this roadhouse blues texture owed to the echoing nature of the song. They are giving us the sense that resonates off of the walls of a mountain and reverberates deep within our chest, urging us to do better and to truly live with our loves. A film that takes you on a genuine journey of change and understanding is The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. The film resonated with a whole generation of girls who were hungry for diverse stories. The song would work beautifully as we watch the girls walk off into the sunset. La Need Machine creates music using broad strokes of country and folk that is mixed and mastered to perfection.

La Need Machine - Pourquoi? C’est L’Amour!
Pourquoi? C’est L’Amour! Is a celebration of genres, the album by La Need Machine is a hat full of genres. They are a neo-pop rock band that takes folk elements and reconstructs them and shapes their songs with new life. The band aims for music that rocks, inspires, and supports the community at large. The band is keen on working with and around the community; they donate a part of their revenues to local and international non-profit groups right from their conception. La Need Machine and Our Song The band offers a variety of songs in the buffet that is their album, but it holds pop-rock and experimental rock at the core of it. They begin with Our Song, a delectable slow pop-rock number that bubbles to life. The track is the perfect palate cleanser to begin the album! While it begins slowly, we see it steadily pick up in pace and intensity, and before you know it, they have their listeners bobbing their heads to some good synth guitar and drums. Vincent Van Gogh Over the Rainbow is a track that distinctly stands out with its pure classical start, where they have remixed Somewhere Over the Rainbow from the musical The Wizard of Oz. They tweaked it in a number of places, adding a new musical perspective. Another song that stands out in terms of musical perspective is Vincent Van Gogh. The core theme of their art, struggle and the grapple with reality and how hard it is to keep up with it. Two songs that bring two very different vibes and intentions to the album! Over The Rainbow [Pop Version] We then have Sardonic Love, where we hear no sardonic tunes, but the lyrics pack a slight amount of punch and sass. The track is an upbeat number, juxtaposing the theme of the title while still staying true to it. The album ends with Over The Rainbow [Pop Version] again, coming full circle! The track is a party with a sepia filter. They hold onto the core dreamy aspect of the song but play in terms of only embellishment, adding a very new layer to the song. It is a song that has a steady bassline and is as easy on the ears as butter. The band is a master at layering their track with vocals. The way they hold onto the rawness of the vocals is what sets them apart. More so in this current day and age of synthesised music and auto tune. Some of their tracks have their own cinematic life. It builds and bridges scenes, while others are born to add some spice to an already existing film. You can imagine a song like Over The Rainbow [Pop Version] to be added in a series like Sex Education or Little Miss Sunshine. La Need Machine is a band that has a long journey mapped out for them, and they are already making noise in the music scene. If you haven’t hit that replay button, What are you doing?
