Experience Ubiquity Machine’s Art Rock Funk in ‘I Think It’s Funny EP’

Ubiquity Machine has a philosophical pulse that they markedly bring to their indie rock. Influenced by agents of alt rock, funk, psychedelics, the 70s, and everything in between, you’ll be on the receiving end of an artsy rock collage. They so elegantly bind the conventions of retro rock with the restless ideas of turn of the century styles. The band’s orientation to music is underlined by ‘art for the sake of it’. They have such an intense and arduous passion for sonic craft. You’ll see it in their creativity, vision, technique, and details. Each arc is pieced together with thoughtful and purposeful characters. And you’ll be left wanting for nothing. The duo have just released their latest EP, ‘I Think It’s Funny’, a three track collection presently, that teases more tracks. 

They carve out funk into indie rock like crop circles. With a light touch of psychedelia and loose groove you can unravel and roll into it seamlessly. In the title track, the funk is mellow, dilating into contemplative spheres. They explore the chemistry between religion and science, cerebral quotients as a bridge to tie them together. The flight to this dimension is light and airy, uplifting. There’s a sense of indifference on one side of it. On the other side, there’s so much of the opposite, evidenced by the lyrical gravity. 

‘Losing Your Mind’ is a story about the anxieties and difficulties of finding a path to success. It tells a story about a person going to the USA looking for a story. But he is boggled by debt, hard work, and insecurities when all he wants is to have fun. The funk here is both deep and light. The contrast showcasing a push and pull that ties into the theme. ‘Betty and Steve’ concludes the EP with a bright electric pop rock scene. The track is made with ascending riffs, rolling accordions, and a country rock touch. It is sunny, tropical, and warm with a vacation vibe. It is very close to a Beatles style composition. A melodic folk rock, storytelling with feel-good narratives and swaying whimsies. Listen Now! 

The EP is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
