London band Weird Milk explore the sounds of baroque pop, psych and more in their latest single ‘Time Machine’. Drawing from the stylistic influences of David Bowie and even a splash of The Arctic Monkeys, the track is a collage of rhythms that drive the listener through multiple soundscapes that are at times theatrical and other moments quite funky. Having already gained support from BBC Radio 1 as well as 6 Music for their previous releases, ‘Time Machine’ is another notch under the belt for the promising and rising outfit.
In a press statement touching on the single, Weird Milk songwriter and drummer Charlie Glover-Wright wrote:
“‘Time Machine’ came from a brief obsession with the documentary Cosmos. I became fascinated with the scientists and how they had the determination and will to invent and create things that no-one else had ever even considered were possible! So we had a conversation about how you’d go about trying to make a time machine. You’d read lots of books by the leading scientists in the field and then you’d study for a long time and then you’d give it a go. The world’s a scary place right now so we thought about getting the heck outta here – just for a little while.”
