The Slip - The Soft Machine

The Slip is a three piecer from Massachussets consisting of two brothers on drums and guitar and a bassist. You may recognize them from the terrible game Guitar Hero (I cant really criticize here, I was obsessed with it for a while too). They had a song you could unlock called "Even Rats" on there that got me in to them.

Anyway, they have other music than that one song it turns out and its not all that bad. This song, "The Soft Machine" is pretty neat. Its got a great slide guitar slipin' and slidein' all over the place and a tinkerin' vibraphone plinkin' about. And the distortion on the rhythm is a nice touch as well. Check it out. Also, if you want to hear the cool psychedelic intro song to this song called "First Panda in Space" click here. Its molds from chaotic noises perfectly into the calmer "Soft Machine."

Love is homeless
Where is
Love is shapeless
Who needs
Love is dangerous
Love is true

The more you give the soft machine
The more you give the song
I would live for you with all my
Give to you with all my
Daggers and swollen kisses
And so that is proof that love is death


There's no ear that would or could Listen to all there is to say
About small wooden toys
Or broken shells, tiny bells or songs about a lady

The more you clean the soft machine
The more you lead me on
I would live for you with all my
Give to you with all my
Daggers and swollen kisses
And so I think that that is proof that love is death
