Secret Machines - "Lightning Blue Eyes" (2006)

Secret Machines are a rock band from Dallas that have somewhat of an old school sound. The band originally consisted of brothers Brandon and Benjamin Curtis who sang vocals and played guitar respectively. They were joined on drums by Josh Garza. The trio released their debut album in 2004 entitled Now Here Is Nowhere. The album garnered favorable critical reviews and saw the release of a few singles, most notably “Nowhere Again.” 2006 saw the release of their sophomore record Ten Silver Drops. The album was in much the same vein as their debut but didn’t see as much commercial success. Later that year Benjamin announced he would be leaving the band to pursue his new band School of Seven Bells. The band’s sound harkens back to rock pioneers like Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. I’m not saying they’re as good as those bands or that they even sound exactly like them, but there is a definite influence. The two remaining members are working on an as yet untitled third album. Today’s song come from Ten Silver Drops and has a definite old feel to it.
