MAQUINA have shared new single, “body control”, a track off their forthcoming PRATA, available April 5th via Fuzz Club Records and DSPs. From MAQUINA: “Where every beat becomes a testament to the language of movement, the lyrics are an ode to the body music – the devotion of the body for the music, the transmission of energy through the people when the music is played, the inexplicable synergy that it creates between the audience and the artist.” The track comes with an accompanying video, directed by the band and inspired by abstract lighting. The band add: “True to the concept, the video comprises improvised footage captured at clubbing nights and concerts, featuring only cuts devoid of transitions, a raw visual experience.”

Describing PRATA, recorded and co-produced by Carlos de Jesus (Sunflowers) at Arda Recorders, they write: “This album was composed spontaneously in the studio throughout the year 2023. It’s music of colour, delving into depths and dimensions that resonate with scale and contrast. Pushing sounds together to make noise and pushing noise together to make sounds. Emphasising textures that evoke feelings and soundscapes rather than relying solely on textual narratives. The music breathes life into auditory canvases, painting sonic panoramas pushing into a world of tactile sensation and immersive experiences.”

In support of the release, MAQUINA. are currently out on a Spain/Portugal headline run and will also soon head out on a wider European tour with A Place To Bury Strangers, followed by festival appearances lined up at Primavera Porto, Sonic Blast and Fuzz Club Festival.
