The Secret Machines with ‘Like I Can’

Here’s the newest from Psych rockers The Secret Machines. Like I Can is the new single, which is available everywhere today digitally along with another singled titled “Terrible Light” via the band’s own label – TSM Recordings. Both tracks were recorded at The Magic Shop and mixed at Electric Lady in NYC.

Written by Brandon Curtis as a conversation between him and himself, Like I Can features signature TSM heavy and synchronous bass and drums. Strings are a nice touch.

If I was in Calgary this weekend….

I’d be at Sled Island. Wow, check out that lineup. To name a few, Broken Social Scene, Yo La Tengo, Mogwai, Secret Machines and The Dodos will play the headlining spots/stage with a slew of other bands playing various venues are the city all week.

IMF fave Jose Gonzalez will also be playing the festival on Saturday. He’s doing some North American Dates to support the In Our Nature Remixes EP, which was released on Earth Day. Its a digital only EP with tracks remixed by Swedes Todd Terje, Penchenga Nord, Lanber & Skogehall and Beatfanatic (check out his version of Killing For Love).

So, last night I went to a concert, some guy pushed me, then the crowd started swirling. Then I got kicked out. And never got to talk to that girl that I was meant to…

Maybe I’ll have to watch this video a couple more times. (It’s in windows media format, if it doesn’t work, try their myspace page). It’s an amazing song called ‘Lightning Blue Eyes’.? Beautifully placed refrain (of ahhs) in between the last two choruses.
