Expanding on last year's Brandt Brauer Frick debut�You Make Me Real,�Mr. Machine�takes the German trio's sound and concept to the next level, adding a full 10-piece ensemble and fusing minimal techno with classical instrumentation. This is an album which rewards repeat listens, as the sounds and arrangements are dense with intricate nuance.
The new album was recorded using a handmade approach, utilizing opulent and unconventional instrumentation: violin, cello, harp, piano, trombone, tuba, timpani, marimba, vibraphone, drum set, various percussion and a Moog synthesizer, the results of which yield an utterly unique sound palate.
With major festivals Coachella, Glastonbury, Eurosonic and others under their belt, Brandt Brauer Frick has earned a reputation of one of the most exciting new live electronic acts.� This Fall they'll be coming over to the US (in their core three-person incarnation) for a full tour in October/November (find the full routing�here). This is a tour that you don't want to miss!
