This Machine
by Penny Lane
2012


The last Dandy Warhols album I cared about was 2009's The Dandy Warhols Are Sound and sadly it will remain that way. This Machine reminds me of The B52's, "Rock Lobster," meets Gorrilaz, "Clint Eastwood," with a smattering of The Beach Boys, "Bet Sounds," meets the horn section from The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, with the voice of Brad Roberts from Crash Test Dummies. If that all sounds fucking weird, it's because it is. It doesn't feel like it all belongs on the same album. I would say this album suffers from a bit of an identity crisis.
