MAQUINA. are a Lisbon-based trio that emerges with an eccentric and unconventional genre mixing sound, blending elements from noise rock, industrial, krautrock and EBM influences among other styles. body control is the new single and album opening track from the band's new album PRATA.
MAQUINA. describe the single: “Where every beat becomes a testament to the language of movement, the lyrics are an ode to the body music - the devotion of the body for the music, the transmission of energy through the people when the music is played, the inexplicable synergy that it creates between the audience and the artist."
On the accompanying video, the band has to say: "’body control is accompanied by a textured video inspired by abstract lighting. True to the concept, the video comprises improvised footage captured at clubbing nights and concerts, featuring only cuts devoid of transitions, a raw visual experience."
On PRATA, MAQUINA. comment: “This album was composed spontaneously in the studio throughout the year 2023. It's music of colour, delving into depths and dimensions that resonate with scale and contrast. Pushing sounds together to make noise and pushing noise together to make sounds. Emphasising textures that evoke feelings and soundscapes rather than relying solely on textual narratives. The music breathes life into auditory canvases, painting sonic panoramas pushing into a world of tactile sensation and immersive experiences.”
