Shimmer by Sweet Machine
Shimmer in the desert sand, a castaway on a distant land……
Post pandemic, with the UK adrift in continuing domestic and international crisis, we’re happy to announce the launch of our new album ‘Shimmer’.
Recorded between May 2020 and September 2022 in our home studios and at Untapped Talent, Southampton, it’s been a long time coming.
Thanks to everyone for their support, our families for putting up with our occasional absences from the domestic realm, Matt at the controls at Untapped Talent and Martin at Thinking Fish for putting up with Stephen’s constant requests for a bit of additional production ‘fairy dust’.
Lastly special thanks to the ‘Two Andrews’ of Gnostic Rebellion, for making us look and sound great in the live realm and easing us back into gigging after our extended COVID break.
Sweet Machine October 2022

"Fantastic, authentic, melodic old-skool electro, reminiscent of Morodor and Oakey at their best!"
“Original synthpop with a strong 80’s vibe – Depeche Mode meets Pulp!”
“A full house danced to the bands twin synthesisers, with ace base and psychedelic effects to glam the night to a higher plain”
