Produced by Kevin Drew (co-founder of Arts & Crafts indie label and producer of Broken Social Scene) and Dave Hamelin (The Stills), Man Machine Poem was recorded at the band’s Bathhouse Studios. First single to be released is titled “In A World Possessed By The Human Hand”.
“This album is about three things, memory, transformation and the truth,” explained Drew, who also noted the record title comes from a song off their 2012 release, “Now For Plan A”. “I think it’s a fabulous record.”
