Rain Machine is a startling new musical venture from Kyp Malone, known to many as guitarist & lead vocalist for soulful art rockers, TV on the Radio.
For Rain Machine, Kyp takes the influences that have always bubbled beneath the surface in TV on the Radio (blues; gospel; '60s jazz; even African music) and brings them to the fore. Performing all the parts himself, Kyp has fashioned here a deeply personal journey through modern life, looking back, as TV on the Radio so often does, on the weight of the history behind us... The result is a communiqué from the soul.
If the Rolling Stones stripped away the glitz to find their emotional core on 'Exile on Main Street', then Kyp has performed the same rite here, in all its murky, mercurial glory.
