We previously featured Ubiquity Machine for their powerful commentary on decoding the mind-altering nature of mainstream media, Radio, so when we heard that the creative duo had just released, Beautiful Girl, we were curious to say the least.
Drawing us in with a mysterious, yet refined bassline with textured drums and a playful, elegant piano performance, Ubiquity Machine open Beautiful Girl with charisma and the introspective prose, “You’ve changed the way it’s always been, I’m holding now what I could never hold then, your smile’s more delicious than my sins, falling down is all it’s ever been…”
We appreciate the journey that we are being taken on, and lyrics with depth such as “God gave me knowledge to open up my mind, but the devil gave me loneliness so I’d leave it all behind…” entice us further into the poetic minds and souls of the creators.
The opus demonstrates instrumental mastery and perfectly, harmonized choruses which showcase the range of the artists as they tap into new wave, 90s grunge-pop energy with contemporary clarity.
The introspective nature of the lyrics is tangible, authentic and romantic, and we love how refined the sonic output is as a whole, with electric guitar riffs that cut through the mix perfectly and creates a cohesive tapestry of sound.
Fans of The Smiths, The Cure, Bush, and Blur would definitely be able to connect with Beautiful Girl, but it is clear from this, and their wider work, that Ubiquity Machine are creating a universe of their own.
We have added Beautiful Girl to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream Ubiquity Machine‘s wider discography, including Radio and Hey You.
