Chris Critical Acclaim for Rain Machine:
“An accomplished work… the best side gig since Jack White rediscovered the drums.” – Spin
“Malone steps out with an emotionally open debut just as experimental and daring as his work with TVOTR.”- USA Today
“As otherworldly as that beard” – Village Voice
“The tunes sound a bit like a rain dance-tribal bells, trance-inflected refrains, the occasional howl-but one that’s been fed through the post-apocalyptic fury of TV On The Radio. The result proves a compelling sonic exploration, knotty and exultant as ever.” – The Onion
“There’s an ardent emotionalism here that would make Otis Redding seem calm in comparison… rolling-holy soulful.” – Filter
Rain Machine is the provocative and soulful new solo venture from guitarist/songwriter extraordinaire Kyp Malone. Renowned for his work with TV on the Radio, Malone is set to tour North America in support of Rain Machine’s remarkable self titled debut album available September 22 on Anti Records. Stereogum remarked after hearing Rain Machine’s song “Give Blood:” “It sounds like TV on the Radio thrown into a loose and scuzzed, mystical late-night basement jam. Cool track” The tour begins September 21st in Brooklyn.
