Live Review: Take a trip to the Machine Age with 'Don't Look'

Playing live as a one-man-band with a guitar, his voice, a sampler, synths MACHINE AGE is a powerhouse when it comes to his music. 'Don't Look' is a beautiful track with intricate layers of instrumentation with powerful vocals on top.

Machine Age has a lot of qualifications under his belt from playing shows at End Of The Line festival and Bigsound 2015, to being a talented musician when it comes to pumping out his own work Machine Age is on a roll when it comes to his music career.

The track is incredibly impressive, more so for a one man bad as it incorporates many elements both acoustic and electric, that are blended in well together to create this constantly building song that  has a dark/sad theme looming over it. The vocal performance is nothing to scoff at either , with plenty of harmonies and overdubs layered with rich reverb really glue the track together. Noticeable high point was in the third act when the guitar gets the spotlight.

'Don't Look' is just a taste of what Machine Age has in store for later this year, with an upcoming video and an EP later this year, Machine Age in going to go full steam ahead.
