PSYKA   11      CRACKED MACHINE         THE CALL OF THE VOID            CD      03.2019

Originally formed in Wiltshire in 2015 by guitarist Bill Denton, Cracked Machine is
a quartet of experienced musicians brought together in a quest for aural mayhem. Known
for their commanding and mesmerising live shows, since their formation the band has
shared stages with the likes of The Spacelords, Deaf Radio and Qujaku. With the band's
debut album 'I, Cosmonaut', their follow up album 'The Call Of The Void' digs its
musical heels in even deeper. Hook-laden guitars conjure soaring post-rock vistas and
showcase a huge progression in their song writing, that is reconfigured Cracked Machine
into a leaner, meaner, and ultimately, heavier sounding machine.
