Empty Machines, a two-piece band hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, have released their debut single, LUNA. The band, which originated as a solo instrumental project by Thomas Crawford in his home studio, has grown in style and sound since adding vocalist Jodie Helena.
Their music blends elements of alternative, electronic, and ambient genres, creating a cinematic and immersive wall of sound. The song has an unconventional structure, gradually morphing and evolving with pulsating synth elements before conventional rock instruments join in near the end.
The song is a modern take on the Greek mythology of the goddess of the moon, exploring themes of the power of nature and how it can be both soothing and overwhelming. This is reflected in the song’s structure, as the soundscape of the song starts out soft and gentle before building up to a powerful climax.
Empty Machines have been compared to genre-related famous artists such as The xx, Radiohead, and James Blake, and their sound has been described as ‘cinematic and huge’ by BBC 1 presenter Alyx Holcombe. Their debut single has already received a positive reaction and is gaining traction, offering an insight into the bright future of this Glasgow based duo.
LUNA is a powerful and unique track that encapsulates the band’s signature sound and showcases their creative potential.
