Lisbon trio MAQUINA. share new single “misfit“, via Fuzz Club on a limited 12”. The 12” comes with a fold-out film poster and backed by a club-ready remix courtesy of Parisian electronic duo Leroy se Meurt on the flipside.
Clocking in at nearly 9 minutes of raw, driving power, “misfit” is a menacing, slow-grinding clash between floor-shaking EBM and industrial krautrock repetition. It arrives following their 2023 PRATA LP, the recent vinyl reissue of their debut DIRTY TRACKS FOR CLUBBING LP and in the midst of relentless touring across Europe and the UK – including festival appearances at Primavera Porto, Eurosonic, Roadburn, Trans Musicales, Leffingeleuren, Into The Great Wide Open, Sonic Blast, Grauzone and lots more announced for this Autumn.
“This song was created with the idea of a soundtrack for a horror movie in mind”, MAQUINA. say: “We were invited to record a track right after finishing the recording of our second album PRATA. At the time, we didn’t have any song or idea ready, but we accepted the challenge. Around that period, Boy Harsher had released ‘The Runner’ and was putting out ‘My Animal’, which was very inspiring for us to start shaping our ideas. It was also a time when we were watching a lot of horror films, and I think all of that combined helped the idea develop naturally. The song tells a story of a hunt, an evil mind; perhaps a stalker, or simply paranoia. PLAY IT LOUD!”
