Fans of live music everywhere: Beautiful Small Machines have just written your anthem. There’s something so triumphant about the electro-twang group’s new single ‘The DJ Stayed Home,’ you’ll find yourself ecstatic by the end of the tune, no matter what’s going on in this troubled DJ’s life. it’s this kind of excitement that the band’s always been able to get across pretty easily in their tracks, from the bleep-blopping synth joys of debut record ‘The Robots In Love,’ to their moving cover of ‘Paper Planes.’ It’s an unapologetic warmth and joyeux de vivre that collaborators Dan DiLego and Bree Sharp always seem to find in the keys and frets of their synths and strings.
Taken from the upcoming full-length of the same name, ‘The DJ Stayed Home’ single is exactly what you need after finally allowing yourself to venture outside again after this winter. Take a listen below and check out their website as the band announces new dates soon. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
