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?
