Leading Dutch alternative rock band De Staat will release their sophomore album Machinery on Mascot Records on March 4 (March 7 in the UK on Cool Green Recordings). Lead singer and songwriter Torre Florim:
I often hear we sound like a machine when we play live. I thought it would be fun to expand on that on this record and emphasise the mechanical elements in the music. We played a lot of rhythms, and also created crazy sounds with the guitars. I didn't want to exclusively focus on the rhythmic parts, but instead wanted to change the way we approached the tools of a conventional rock band setup. During the process of writing and creating the music, the album developed an industrial flavour that reminded us of a machine.
