It's an interestingly underwater track from the quintet -- the horns and breezy melody tug it from the undertow, letting it subtly hook you. "I'm A Machine" is the lead track...

After a rouse about SXSW, band to watch Slaraffenland took a brief respite to their native Denmark, from where they dispatch this non-album track for your enjoyment. Of course, the excellent album from which this track doesn't appear isn't even... CONTINUE READING NEW SLARAFFENLAND - "DUST (ME AS A MONSTER)"»
