These Dead Machines - 'Any Minute Now'

7/10

Over this past year, emerging artist These Dead Machines has quickly begun to establish a fresh and distinctive direction in which to call his own. Originally conceived during the peak of the COVID-19 lockdowns, his broad and enigmatic approach to the alt-rock arena has allowed him to venture towards wider and more immersive aesthetics than most, resulting in a wave of widely-praised initial offerings in recent months. And with the buzz surrounding him continuing to grow, he is back once again to deliver his hotly-tipped debut album 'Any Minute Now', a record that cements his dynamic legacy to date.

Not just an album with a more explorative approach to its aesthetic, but one that doesn't feel the need to hone itself towards any particular genre either. Instead 'Any Minute Now' looks to pursue its own path, carving a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking in equal measure. Whether he is looking to bring in raw and driven anthems or something alined with a more tender endeavour, These Dead Machines brings his A-game across this progressive ten-track collection, giving him a sense of power than many artists usually take a lot longer to cultivate.

It may still be very early days for him right now, but 'Any Minute Now' shows a real flair for bold and eclectic songwriting. Brimming with this ever-evolving array of gems that look to pack a punch as often as possible, it feels as though These Dead Machines have only just scratched the surface of their potential right now.
