MH-080 Dying Machines - Nicht Sprechen  Nicht Sprechen is the first release from Dying Machines. The album opens with the dramatic "This, And Other Times" and sets the stage for the rest of the EP with its heavily effected guitars and hypnotic orchestral underpinnings. "Await You" is a slowly evolving track that starts with a lone piano and ends in a swirling galaxy of echoes while "Leaf" is a delicate journey of simplicity and wonder that swells into a cinematic climax before quietly flickering out. "As a Day Fades" is a glacial, nearly static moment on the album that seems to breathe with life as strings slowly come and go. The EP draws to a close with "Some Mistakes Are Bigger Than Others" focusing on a minimalist, emotional piano arrangement. As a whole, Nicht Sprechen quickly draws the listener down into the depths of the Dying Machines' sound and keeps them enveloped there until the last sonic wave dies out. |

| With influences ranging from Arvo Part and film composer Hans Zimmer, Dying Machines’ music is decidedly epic - Earbuddy / Relaxing and thought provoking - In Your Speakers / Some moments of complete loveliness - Burning World / Impressive and immersive debut - Cyclic Defrost / In this era of flash and dash, Buschbach has thankfully created moments worth savouring. - Blinded By Sound |

| New Orleans multi-instrumentalist Thomas Buschbach, aka Dying Machines, is not your typical indie dream pop musician. Rather than relying on the go-to choice of synthesizers, Buschbach strives for a no-synthesizers approach to Dying Machines’ music, writing sheet music for orchestral instruments (viola and cello) to be performed by other musicians before Buschbach gets to stir the pot. With influences ranging from Arvo Part and film composer Hans Zimmer, Dying Machines’ music is decidedly epic. - Earbuddy |
