What an inspiring collaboration between members of Fucked Up and the always great Riley Gale. The music of "Rotting Fruit" sounds like a hybrid of Ministry/early NIN industrial meeting an almost "Screamadelica" production feel. With fucking Riley Gale's vocals on top? Yeah - it's the shit.

It's a pity that there will be no more of this. I really liked both tracks and hoped they would go full-length. This really, worked while 90% of artists who try to create a 90s-Industrial-vibe fail.

about
Members of Fucked Up and Power Trip have coalesced to create the throbbing musical beast that is Masterpiece Machine. Imagine the pounding the drum of Psalm-era Ministry with flashes of Nine Inch Nails, massive rock riffs, cinematic electronics, and post-hardcore influenced vocals. Rotting Fruit b/w Letting You In On A Secret is their debut 12” single. In this chaotic world, industrial influenced music seems more relevant than ever as it channels the unstoppable wheels of a mutating mass of electronic and biological matter lurching towards an unknown destination.
Singer Riley’s love of comics led to a collaboration with celebrated comic artist and animator Lale Westvind, known for critically acclaimed works such as Grip, Hot Dog Beach and Hyperspeed to Nowhere. Lale’s art for Rotting Fruit/Letting You In On A Secret perfectly captures the aforementioned musical qualities as technological chimeras made up of biological matter cruise a desert landscape seemingly without purpose, while simultaneously racing towards the future head on.

I love the light and shade between Bryan's dirty and Emma's forlorn vocals. There are so many layers to this recording that are driven home through contrast. Plus the riffs are brilliant and get me moving. I can't stop listening to Thou and Emma in general lately. spaceman2250
A deep dive into the emotional landscape of Greg Puciato. Seamlessly going from raw harshness to the complete opposite and back. Average Tween Wave Enjoyer
Though each of these 4 20-minute-long tracks flutters between Damian's best raging since "David Comes to Life" and immersive synth-led passages of female vocals, and there's an opera here somewhere, the real strength of the whole album lies in its accessible set of lyrical hardcore gems--more consistent and fun than any other recent FU work.
