Info
Sometimes you have to take a step back to move forward. That is exactly what Brighton band The Wytches have done with Talking Machine, their fifth studio album—and in more ways than one.
The album’s title was inspired by a book about Thomas Edison, who once called gramophones “Talking Machines”. But the music itself also deliberately looks back: ever since forming in Peterborough in 2011, The Wytches—now comprising Kristian Bell (vocals/guitar), Daniel Rumsey (bass), Mark Breed (keyboards/guitar) and Bhav Thaker (drums)—have always had a timeless quality. For this album, however, they had a clear goal: to conjure up the sounds and influences of the past anew.
The opening title track, a driving blend of surf and garage rock, immediately opens a portal to an earlier, more innocent era of rock ’n’ roll—a time when bands recorded their albums together in one room. Talking Machine was recorded in precisely this way, a first for the band since their debut, Annabel Dream Reader (2014). Produced by the band themselves and recorded by Luke Oldfield, the album embraces analogue techniques throughout, capturing The Wytches’ raw, unfiltered energy.
