about

The latest curiosity to emerge from Newcastle upon Tyne, England’s thriving experimental scene (see also: Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs, Blóm), Fax Machine is a new collaborative project between David Turnbull (also known for his work in post-punk outfit Okay Champ) and producer Will Thorneycroft. On their debut album, Soup, the duo serve up high-concept, poppy art rock steeped in the absurd, as well as the abstract. One minute, they’re chanting obscene love letters to a villain from the Street Fighter video games series (“M. Bison”), the next, they’re drifting into the psychedelic void, blissful even as the static swallows the sonic space whole (“Mintra”). “I always had this idea to have an album starting in a place that is almost comical and goofy and moving gradually to another that is dark or sad so it descends and goes through some kind of metamorphosis,” Turnbull recently told NARC of the record, “which I think we did achieve on some level.” We fully co-sign that assessment: this one’s not just a trip, it’s an odyssey.
