Album Review: Fun Machine - Bodies On

Ash Goldberg

Often covered with glitter and little else, no one can accuse Fun Machine of not living up to their name.



Often covered with glitter and little else, no one can accuse Fun Machine of not living up to their name. Constantly shifting tones, instruments and vocalists, Bodies On is a debut unlike any you (or anyone else) has ever heard. You'll be shouted at on Gin Bar, serenaded by the smooth Side Of The Coin and downright dumbfounded by Set You On Fire. With lyrics about playing Nintendo in the jungle and the joys of taking drugs, you wouldn't play this record at your grandmother's birthday party, unless, of course, you have a pretty cool grandmother.
