about

Stone Witches present:

MACHINE EFFICIENT

The third full length LP from Stone Witches, Machine Efficient marks a sonic departure from previous LP "Feeder". An exploration into a cold, jagged, machine like sound, Machine Efficient delves into man's obsession with machine; a focused, tight and thematic combination of an assembly-line rhythm section held in the pocket by drums and bass, with searing guitars that scream over the top.

Recorded at home by ourselves as always, on a Tascam PortaTwo. Engineered by Mikel.

Special thanks to Ryan and Gordo from Slime Street Records for releasing this bad boy on cassette, available from slimestreetrecords.bandcamp.com/album/machine-efficient

Track Name: Mechanised: Mechanised
Face in the mirror
Mechanised
Reconstruction
Mechanised
Full Autonomy
Mechanised
Cyclical action
Mechanised
Stand in front of me
Mechanised
See me both ways
Mechanised
Digital cage
Mechanised
A self induced coma
Track Name: Video Flesh: We are
Circuitboards
Craving sex
Seekers, seekers, seekers of flesh
Automised
Pseudo human
Computer future
Suture, suture, suture your skin
Spilt seed
Cancerous
Synthetic mesh
Eaters, eaters, eaters of flesh
Too much
Not enough
Population
Exceeds, exceeds, exceeds the wealth
Track Name: Designated Pathways: Modern disposition
Arbitrary living
Taken from an ill-conceived point of view
Toxic self affliction
Transparency addiction
A life well lived is a life that must be viewed
Designated pathways
Perpetually a headache
Tethered to a technological spool
Age of mass existence
Participation insistent
Consensus is a weapon to be used
Depression is a culture
Romanticised and indulgent
Exploited into a conversational tool
Designated pathways
Always in the same place
Forced to entertain this rhetoric drool
Too much information
Voluntary sedation
Wielded by an infant with a gun
Strange normalisation
Humility degradation
Headed to an expedited doom
Designated pathways
Spill into the hallways
Stuck inside a constantly crowded room
Track Name: Janitor: The janitor, the maimer
Political restrainer
The blue collar saviour
The middle class favour
He cleans the halls, he cleans the floors
He cleans the grime upon the walls
The substance that gives way
To petulance, to phallic rage
As if to say, as if to say
It’s not endorsed destruction
As if to say, as if to say
Not a contrived production
Innovator, mutilator
Human forsaker
His hammer waits for the day
Squashed nails in its wake
As if to say, as if to say
It’s not a proclamation
As if to say, as if to say
It’s not a fascination
As if to say, as if to say
That it’s a mass migration
As if to say, as if to say
It’s not in human nature
As if to say, as if to say
It’s not eradication
As if to say, as if to say
A fitting summarisation
Track Name: Scene from a Sitcom: It’s a thin old line between wrong and right
Will you make your bed in untimely decisions?
What a perfect scene of common brand stupidity
Self reflection eclipsed by a regurgitated mantra
It’s a heavy climb to get up that wall
So you bitch and moan about elected officials
It’s a crushing blow to your glasshouse ego
To face the fact that you’re no fucking better
Track Name: Exit (Static Death): See the words
On the screen
Projected at the wall
Waking up
Walking in
Your catatonic form
Access
Technology
The human’s lost control
Some of us
Will agree
The sum of us must fall
Push the button
Upload
Thoughts in megabytes
Scrolling
Through the gutter
Sorting through the junk
Access
Technology
The world by your design
Seeking
Fucking answers
Ones you will not find
Exit, technology, exit, static death
Exit, technology, exit, static death
Exit, technology, exit, static death
Exit, technology, exit, static death
