Sometimes they derive from a drunken, witty comment. Other times it\u2019s a place or memory taken from the members\u2019 childhoods. And then there\u2019s the ones based on an inside joke or back story that only the band and prying fans would know about. After listening to just one track I knew exactly why the Norwegian duo Marte Maaland Eberson and Maria Skranes call themselves Machine Birds. Eberson\u2019s innovative, synthesized sounds is the machine that fuels the foundation to their tracks, while Skranes\u2019 angelic vocals whisper into your ears like that of a song bird. Together it makes the perfect balance of excitement and delicacy you don\u2019t want to end.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #13260d;font-family: arial\"><span style=\"color: #13260d;font-family: arial\">Speaking of \u2018the end,\u2019 the songs on\u00a0<a title=\"FBOOK\" href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/machinebirds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Machine Birds<\/a>\u2019 newly released EP,\u00a0<a title=\"iTunes\" href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/album\/time-single\/id464797224\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Save Yourself<\/a>, reflect on the aftermath of a relationship. \u2018Time\u2019 is all about trying to save a relationship, while \u2018The Way it\u2019s Meant to Be\u2019 is about letting go of a relationship. And \u2018Save Yourself,\u2019 well, that\u2019s about her cheating and begging him to save himself from her <em>and their<\/em> relationship. I know, pop songs about relationships\u2026 how stereotypical. But even though it might not seem like it, these aren\u2019t the average pop songs. The vibe is dark and mysterious with experimental sounds and a whimsical anecdote that beats that \u2018boppy\u2019 feel any day. Layered over the electronically charged sounds, the angelic and airy vocals resonate a feeling of enlightenment amongst the darkness. So beautifully eerie, there\u2019s no saving yourself from the captivating trance of these songbirds\u2026<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #13260d;font-family: arial\"><span style=\"color: #13260d;font-family: arial\"><a href=\"http:\/\/anonym.to\/http:\/\/www.machinebirds.no\/\">Website<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delicate but lovely.
