Beautiful Small Machines may be synthetic, but they’re not stupid. Caught somewhere between the 70’s, 80’s and deep space, this electro-pop duo (Bree Sharp, Don DiLego) learned about comedy from adult swim and heartache from Philip K. Dick and they’re spewing it all back out at you like a bunch of mandroids on whiskey and psycho-pharmaceuticals. Fun, Sad, Creepy and Clever – Beautiful Small Machines is the retro-future.
I have a tendency to like cute songs. I’m not going to lie and try to hide it. When I hear Of Montreal come on the radio singing ‘Wraith Pinned To The Mist And Other Games’, a small part of my little typically predictable college girl heart goes fwap fwap. So of course it makes sense that when I heard the Beautiful Small Machines, I would immediately fell in love with their brand of lo-fi art pop. But as the wonderful people over at Battery In Your Leg eloquently put it, “cute” does not always equate to “worthless”. Their Robots In Love EP is the collaborative effort of singer-songwriter Bree Sharp and Don Dilego (Sharp on vocals and Don DiLego on production duty). During ‘Superconducter’ Sharp’s vocals sound, at times, intriguingly Le Tigre-ish. Yet at the same time, their track ‘Robots In Love’ takes an entirely different approach, sounding much more akin to a b-side from The Postal Service. That being said, below are two of my favorite song samples from their EP.
