MACHINE IN THE GARDEN, THE, Shadow Puppets
Format: CD
Price: $12.00 Middle Pillar Review: Latest album from the Machine in the Garden could easily be the band's defining moment. An seamless amalgam of electronics, ethereal melodies and sensuous rhythms; the album is often very dynamic and anthemic, yet equally convincing when quiet and introspective. One of the returning signatures of the band has been singer Summer Bowman's startling beautiful vocal performances. Summer brings an enchanting quality to her often haunting melodies which perfectly balances the strength of the guitars, the serenity of the open beats or the drama of a lone piano.
