SHOCK MACHINE - Shock Machine (Sealed) (CD)

Shock Machine is the new project from the Mercury and Ivor Novello winning artist James Righton (formerly of Klaxons). His eponymous debut album is a collection of timeless pop music that embraces inspiration from decades of off-kilter classics, such as ELO, Roxy Music, 70s McCartney, "Benny and the Jets by Elton John on acid", alongside a passion for ultra vivid shimmering psychedelia - the result is a gorgeous celebration of melody and synths. Recorded in a cabin in the South of France with the help of esteemed producer James Ford (Arctic Monkeys, Florence and the Machine, Foals, Haim) and then mixed in Atlanta by Ben H Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Gnarls Barkely).
