Hailing from the same country (Holland/Netherlands), sharing the same label and the love for fuzz was enough for The Machine and Sungrazer to release a split record and go on a European tour. Both bands have been riding off the underground success of their latest records, Calmer Than You Are and Mirador, respectively, so this album would be a fine pit stop before checking back into the studio to record the follow-ups.
Both parties are big fuzzheads, relying on guitar power and this split is no different. Mostly complementing each other, there are a few characteristics though, that separate The Machine and Sungrazer from being confounded. The former have a more direct approach to the songs, drenching the fuzz in feedback, with less to no effects brought to the mix. Taking a cue from Kyuss, The Machine's production is raw and the vocals are left in the background for a full effect of the guitars wall. This way, "Awe" is a fuzz monster that never threatens to let loose for its entire span, showcasing what The Machine are all about, ending with a minute of feedback. Only on "Slipface" the band loosens up, offering a few minutes of tribal drums and wah solos, before settling for a nice, subdued ending.
On the opposite side, Sungrazer bring a wider arsenal, focusing more on dreamy, psychedelic soundscapes to merge with the fuzz. "Dopo" is rich in delayed guitars and some really cool western-like tremolos that add a lot to the atmosphere of the track. The same goes with "Yo La Tengo", a laid-back jam, that progresses to a heavier finale after a long passage of lovely echoed guitar solos. The layered vocals and the clearer production are more accessible, better highlighting the songs. Mirador was a strong record and these tunes should leave the fans anxious enough for a proper follow-up.
Even if the material present here might not be the bands' best material, although some tracks do come close, especially "Slipface", "Dopo" and "Yo La Tengo", this split is a must listen to any Sungrazer and The Machine's fan.
