Memory Machine has been in a work in progress for quite some time--almost a year, actually. It was such an exhausting record to make because all of these tracks were pretty much written on the spot, if maybe not a few days before recording them. But it was fun too. Probably the most fun I've had making a record with this group. For the first time, we were working together... at the same time, in the same place. Not one of us is responsible for writing a single track, which sounds like a mess, but for me, it works--really well. I hope everyone enjoys it. Big thanks to Mac for jumping in and making shit awesome. (-John)
