Water Machine

Flooding out of Glasgow, Scotland in 2022,
Water Machine quickly gained a reputation for
their weird and wonky art-punk, winning
hearts with sing-along songs about dogs,
struggling artists and the housing crisis. Their
ascendency over the past year and a half has
seen them release music with GoldMold
Records and Upset the Rhythm, and play
shows across the UK with acts including
Shannon and the Clams and The Orielles,
stopping off in Salford for a BBC Radio 6
Music live session.
After a short break from the live music scene
and the addition of some new talent, Water
Machine are back and raring to release their
debut album with FatCat Records. God Park
takes a collection of disparate influences and
distils the disjointed into something new.
Taking influence from everywhere - from
LiLiPUT to The Pastels - the tunes are always
on the verge of falling apart or breaking down.
Whether it’s the bubblegum pop of lead single
Tiffany or the country-punk bait and switch
that is Hando, their frantic genre-hopping is
always underpinned with anarchic joy.
