The Wytches by Steve Gullick
The Wytches are heading towards their fifth studio album.
The Wytches have premiered the video for the title-track of Talking Machine ahead of the LP’s release via Alcopop! Records on October 10th.
“I saw the term ‘Talking Machine’ in a book I was reading about Thomas Edison,” Kristian Bell has revealed.
“It was a nickname for gramophones. I thought that was fitting enough for an album title, but I guess like a lot of people, the whole AI thing has been on my mind a lot and I saw a connection there too.”
Thomas Edison would host these events called Tone Tests where he’d demonstrate how much audio recordings had advanced by fooling the audience in to thinking they were listening to musicians playing live but it was actually all pre-recorded, playing from a gramophone.
“People feared that a lot of jobs in the entertainment industry and beyond would be replaced by technology, a lot like what’s going on now.”
