Review:
A band that have hitherto yet to be properly exposed to British ears, When Saints Go Machine have already had their full debut album released in their native Denmark.. Their sound is extremely hard to pin down - such is the range of material covered in these six tracks. Title tune "Fail Forever" introduces the distinctive tone of Nickolaj's vocals - somewhere between Morrissey and Erlend Oye - and comes over like Hot Chip's "Boy From School" played at about 4am with a beautiful electro-orchestral backing and some sparse but effective drums and bass. This is a great introduction to a band that are clearly bursting with ideas and influences.
