The track comes with a similarly dark and captivating new music video
Armed with an atmospheric alternative rock sound that has an aura to it that feels unsettling in its approach, borrowing from both nostalgic and modern sounds and packing a visceral, hard-hitting edge, The Capsules are a band that feel reinvigorated in their current form, returning after some time away with a sound that feels darker, thornier and more introspective and immersive tonally.
Their latest single ‘Machines’ is one that fully embodies this feeling, utilising a brooding darkwave soundscape to craft a sound that lingers over you as a listener, their sound feeling as synthy as ever but with the purpose shifted into a more distorted and uneasy territory that forms the basis of this new aesthetic. The track explores the increasingly blurred and warped relationships between people and machines and how close and familiar these things are beginning to feel in our lives, and the tone of the track and instrumentation manages to capture these conflicting feelings effortlessly.
