Edinburgh's The Machine Room will drop an ep titled Love From A Distance on March 5th. Sonically I'd describe them as a more upbeat, dancier type of dreampop. They've also been described as Edinburgh's version of The Smiths which I don't think accurately describes them, though it's a fun comparison. It doesn't really matter how to label the band, just LISTEN to them. I was drawn into the Machine Room after hearing only the first 30 seconds of EP opener "The Cost Of Progress." This is a fantastic release and I think you'll love it too. Take a listen to a stream of the 4 song Love From A Distance EP below:Take a listen to their recent cover of New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle"
