Each Measure Feature: La Need Machine

FEATURE

La Need Machine shocks Seattle’s local music scene with their newest genre-bending single “The Mountain.” The band’s signature sound uniquely blends Americana, Indie Rock, Folk Rock, and Alternative. Led by Al on lead guitar and co-lead singers Brian and Elise, La Need Machine works to produce music that rocks, inspires, and supports their community. They are a charitable group, using their music to support charities such as The Trevor Project, The Humane Society of the United States, and the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Al’s strength in creating powerful progressions, catchy hooks, and inspiring lyrics perfectly complements Brian and Elise’s smooth harmonies.

Released on August 16th, “The Mountain” is a showcase of the members’ talents. The song’s underlying beat is catchy, overlaid with soaring harmonies, an infectious hook, and ethereal strings and piano sounds. On a deeper level, “The Mountain” touches on a universal message that permeates beliefs and cultures: “To give is to receive.” This lesson comes at the perfect time, as society continuously splits the “haves” and “have-nots.” Lyrically, La Need Machine preaches about the importance of giving back, not just financially but with your whole being. In a way, “The Mountain” is La Need Machine’s way of giving back to the Seattle community: they share their musical talents in an exciting and complex song.
