When Saints Go Machine
Shlohmo remix of ‘Kelly’ single, out 19th Sept
Upcoming show at CAMP, 28th Sept

Listen to the Shlohmo remix of ‘Kelly’ here

The Danish four-piece — Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild (vocals), Jonas Kenton (keyboards), Simon Muschinsky (keyboards) and Silas Moldenhawer (drums) — are a complicated mix of influences. There’s dance music in there, for sure, but also post punk, some experimental electronica in the Aphex Twin mould, and, crucially, a healthy dose of pop. You could describe the end result as a heady mix of Caribou, The Knife/Fever Ray and Arthur Russell. But, really, it doesn’t sound like anything else out there.

Single ‘Kelly’ is out 19th September and is taken from recent album ‘Konkylie’ out now on !k7 Records.

Praise for Konkylie
“Just when you think you’ve got a handle on it, it chucks out yet another beautifully confusing non sequitur to ponder and imagine over.” The Quietus
“If justice is done, When Saints Go Machine will be topping the album-of-the-year lists come December.” Drowned in Sound
“A hypnotic and constantly surprising future-disco trip-pop opus which warrants further exposure.” CMU Daily
