Surely everyone that has ever been in a relationship will agree that there has been a time where things have gone wrong, and the only solution to cure the heartache would be a rewind button to start all over from the beginning again. That’s pretty much the storyline to Modern Time Machines‘ new video for "Mammoth". With lyrics like "stuck in a world that’s sinkin’" and the finishing line, "there is nothing else that you can do", it’s a song about how the desire to turn back time is just a modern romantic’s ideal.
Keeping their dreamy shoegaze sound, the higher pitch of the violin is complimented by guitar reverbs, stong baselines, and drum beats that go along with the catchy lyrics. Their debut album is due out early 2011, and they will be playing a show at LaBrie’s in Glendale on January 18th.
