BISON MACHINE: Heavy Blog Is Heavy Debuts New Track From Michigan Fuzz Rock Unit; Seas Of Titan Full-Length To See Release Via Small Stone

Heavy Blog Is Heavy is currently streaming “Electric Eliminator” from Michigan fuzz rock unit BISON MACHINE. The riff-raging track comes courtesy of the band’s impending Seas Of Titan full-length, set for release this fall via Small Stone.

Comments the band, “‘Electric Eliminator’ is sort of a reimagining of The Warriors in space while borrowing some of the movie’s alliteration. The whole album has some recurring themes, not necessarily a concept album, but definitely carrying a cohesiveness between tracks and some similar characters. We were trying to render a sonic picture akin to Robert McCall’s painted visions of the future through an eye from the past.”

i-D liken Tony Njoku to Olafur Eliasson

On ‘RAPTURE’, Tony’s elastic falsetto and indomitable, celestial pop combine proving again why he is such a standout name right now. Flitting between jittery, experimental synths and borderline hymnal refrain; the track is a voyage through Tony’s mind, contemplating another version of reality and providing a refreshing perspective on what it means to be alive.

All you can do is focus on yourself and keep going, so I just took some of that energy whilst free styling and recording and it came out like that! We did references in my home studio then went to a London studio to finish it up.”
