Brooklyn-based duo Fake Dad dazzle with a hooky pop allure throughout “New Machines,” capturing “the experience of younger generations who have grown up in a world characterized by tragedy and fear.” A funky rhythmic underlying complements punchy guitar pulses and hazy synths, the latter consuming during a spoken-word feeling approaching the two-minute turn.
The track’s majority duration melds this understated percussive funk and mellow guitars with Andrea De Varona’s enamoring vocals, standing out especially in the second minute with the dynamic showing; the carefree breeziness of the title-touting hook evolves into the aforementioned synth-pop feeling, seamlessly shifting from one to the other. De Varona and Josh Ford thoroughly impress with this pop gem, following up the acclaimed single “Painkiller.”
