Texans combine their retro-rock and electronica sides
secret machines are fiery dallas guitar boys, but at times they operate like party-hearty DJs remixing their favorite classic-rock bands. On their second album, they take Pink Floyd psychedelia, Led Zeppelin stomp and Who-inspired choruses and charge them full of big-rock beats, atmospheric keyboards and all kinds of electronic whooshes. They also stumble upon a couple of memorable tunes, as on "Sad and Lonely," where they layer percolating keyboard and guitar riffs and a pounding pulse under singer Brandon Curtis' winding, Robert Plant-like melody. Now Here Is Nowhere falters on a few slow electrofolk lullabies, but for the most part, Secret Machines have managed to combine electronic textures with the old-school stuff they so clearly love.
