about

On the back of their second album "Why Can't We Catch the Liars", bonemachine have released their first DVD single, featuring videos to a reworked Red Light…Receiving, Blown Trenches and the live favourite Love Is...  

bonemachine work the night shift in the heat, damp and grime of the overcrowded south coast city of Portsmouth. Witnessing almost nightly tales of wrist snapping pain - alcohol abuse; infidelity; aggression - they return to the refuge of their homes and helpless introspection. The 24hr rolling news mixed with an alcoholic stupor (to forget and to sleep) results in a rising desperation, anxiety and paranoia that drives the music …

bonemachine veer between skuzzy industrial electronic grind and moments of uneasy calm.  Having no drummer, they merge layers of sampled loops and guitars with an array of acoustic instruments including harmonica, mandolin and bowed double bass. Their tracks are crammed with references to captured moments of madness and media . Also joining bonemachine on WCWCTL is the acclaimed jazz saxophonist Johnny Lippiett and electro DJs Simon Heartfield and Coincidence.
