When Saints Go Machine: “Chainsaw”
Manage episode 440896744 series 2996994
There’s probably a big chunk of Texas choosing not to think about the word “saints” after last weekend. But even Cowboys fans can agree that a quality chainsaw is a great way to start carving into the weekend. I mean, chainsaws have been a state pride since 1974, right?
So if you’re overdue for some Danish pop, dig into When Saints Go Machine. Throughout all their pop trials, the Copenhagen three-piece has kept from getting cornered in any one sub-style, be it classic club, hip-hop, or post-punk. But a dip into their discography quickly tips you off to one consistency; what these Danes have been doing for a decade and a half now is a strictly digital endeavor.
That in mind, this morning WSGM hit the world with somewhat of a surprise: the trio’s introductory experiment in acoustic equipment. Alongside “Trying”, which is a real trip of its own, “Chainsaw” comes off awfully organic compared with all the project’s prior outings. But somewhere between the liminal, strobing solitude of its visuals and the fresh perspective on WSGM’s secret formulas, it almost feels like a sin for Saints to have waited this long to “get real” with it.
