Now Here Is Nowhere by Secret Machines
Now Here Is Nowhere is an album by Secret Machines, released in 2004. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 20 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Nowhere Again”, on 19 lists with a best position of #22.
Now Here Is Nowhere, the debut album from Secret Machines, came out on Reprise on May 18, 2004, from a band that had moved from Dallas to New York. The lineup was two brothers, Brandon Curtis on vocals, bass and keyboards and Benjamin Curtis on guitar, with Josh Garza pounding the drums.
The touchstones are Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin, but it's all run through the steady krautrock throb and the blurred, glowing haze of shoegaze: long, slow-building songs, drums that hit like pile drivers, and walls of keyboard and guitar that swell until the speakers strain. "Nowhere Again" is the tight, hooky one, and it's the song rock radio held on to. Benjamin left in 2007 to focus on School of Seven Bells.
