New York City-based Secret Machines' second album Ten Silver Drops will hit stores April 25th. The Machines - bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Brandon Curtis, his brother guitarist/vocalist Ben Curtis, and drummer Josh Garza - are no longer a secret as they toured relentlessy in support of their debut for more than 18 months and have created some big sounds for the new record.
The band produced the record themselves, an experience about which Brandon says:
"Producing ourselves, we came away with the essential nature of preserving the sanctity of the vibe of a recording studio. A producer can dictate the terms, set the schedule, and create a sensory feeling in the room by lighting it or making it smell a certain way. When you're doing it yourself, you have to be responsible for dictating the feeling you want."
"Alone, Jealous and Stoned" stands out as the first single and you can listen to the entire cd here to see how the boys fared taking their turn as both musicians and producers.
