WAX MACHINE TRUTH

We've covered the whimsical compositions of Brighton-based psychedelic experimentalists Wax Machine a couple of times since they caught our ears in 2018 with the wonderfully bizarre 'Mind Palace'. Having since signed a deal with Beyond Beyond Is Beyond (home to Tengerr, Kikagaku Moyo and more), 'Truth' is a fuzz-flavoured cut from their recently released debut LP Earthsong of Silence. Musically, 'Truth' explores the heavier and more relaxed sides of Wax Machine's sound, striking a satisfying balance as the group embark on their quest for clarity. Vocalist and guitarist Lau Ro explains: "I wrote the lyrics as a way to prompt myself and whoever wants to join me in the search for truth by looking inward in quiet contemplation. What I have found is that truth is beyond opposites. The judging mind is limited by our conceptual bias.Truth can be found by surrendering to the now, which encompasses all dark and light, pleasure and pain, virtue and sin." Watch the complimentary accompanying video by Jamie Brogan here now.  -Holly Mullineaux
