Secret Machines announce new album Awake In The Brain Chamber for release in August

Secret Machines by Lindsey Byrnes

Secret Machines will release a new album in August – their first in over a decade, and since the untimely death of Benjamin Curtis.

Whilst Benjamin had left the band by the time of their last studio album, the self-titled effort of 2008, Brandon Curtis has revealed that its eventual successor – Awake In The Brain Chamber, out on August 21st – will contain contributions from his late brother.

“I began writing these songs at a time I remember feeling alone and lost, and I think the songs have that in their DNA,” Brandon says. “I started sharing early versions with Benjamin who gave me notes as well as encouragement. I am sure that without his influence this album would never have seen the light of day.”

“While reworking the tracks, Josh and I were careful to retain whatever influence Benjamin had as a sort of living tribute to him,” he continues. “I know that Josh and I both feel very fortunate to have had this opportunity to work with him again, albeit posthumously. I know we are both very proud to present this as the first Secret Machines music in over a decade.”
