Last year, a very small indie label based out in the no man’s land of Kansas City, MO named The Record Machine caught my eye with the release of Capybara’s Try Brother. The album was the perfect example of brilliance fallen through the cracks. Media attention was minimal, but those who heard it loved it and by the end of the year it was right at the top of my list of favorites. This year The Record Machine has released a couple potential hit records by Saharan Gazelle Boy, The Soft Reeds, Max Justus and State Bird, but maybe the best of the bunch is Each Other All of the Time by Cowboy Indian Bear. They’ll be hard to pin down. While all of the songs essentially hit along the pop rock lines of Hot Chip or French Kicks, there are some really unexpected turns taken. The hooks will make instant fans and the depth of the songwriting and compositions will keep them coming back for more.
