Talking Machine CD

The Wytches return for their latest incendiary album, Talking Machine, the Brighton 4 piece bringing a whole new avalanche of their undeniable psych infused jet black soundscapes alongside a pleasingly lengthy tour.34I saw the term 34Talking Machine34 in a book I was reading about Thomas Edison34 lead singer Kristian muses. 34It was a nickname for gramophones. I thought that was fitting enough for an album title but I guess like a lot of people, the whole AI thing has been on my mind a lot and I saw a connection there too. Thomas Edison would host these events called Tone Tests where he039d demonstrate how much audio recordings had advanced by fooling the audience in to thinking they were listening to musicians playing live but it was actually all prerecorded, playing from a gramophone. People feared that a lot of jobs in the entertainment industry and beyond would be replaced by technology, a lot like what039s going on now.34
