Ubiquity Machine is an indie/ alt duo from Washington DC. Their style aims to resurrect the past in pieces, assembling diverse influences to form a cohesive sound. In a way, the duo tackles modern themes using sonic spreads from across the late 20th and early 21st century. With a distinct dreariness, wry poetry, and subdued tonalities, they lull the mind into a wakeful slumber. In their latest release, Beautiful Girl, Ubiquity Machine appropriates melancholy, carrying it with monotonal blues and gloomy rock. Listeners of Tame Impala, Metronomy, Hozier, and Empire of the Sun are sure to enjoy the dazed atmosphere of this track.
The track opens with a slithering bass line, sinisterly silver before mellow funk grooves and melancholic vocals absorb its dimension. The moody tones of the track imitate a ghostly pattern, drifting formlessly with mercurial whimsy.
Listening to the track is like tapping into a dazed frequency, that is both numbing and wakeful. The duo debuted earlier this year (2023) with the track, Hey You, following it with Radio; making this track the third release in four months.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
