LIMITED EDITION FACTORY FIRE ORANGE VINYL
Release Date: 10th October 2025
"The Wytches return for their latest incendiary album, Talking Machine, the Brighton 4 piece bringing a whole new avalanche of their undeniable psych inflused jet black soundscapes alongside a pleasingly lengthy tour. "I saw the term “Talking Machine” in a book I was reading about Thomas Edison" lead singer Kristian muses. "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."
