Machinedrum - "Endless Love"
New Tracks1 CommentNorth Carolina electronic music producer Machinedrum readies a b-sides album that's going to be released via Ninja Tune this week. It's a series of cuts that didn't make it onto his last record: Vapor City. Some of these tracks make for a pretty gorgeous experience--especially "Endless Love" here. This song features some sparkling acoustic guitar arpeggios, serene guest vocals, and a peppy set of kick drums. Enjoy!
