Denmark's When Saints Go Machine releasing 'Infinity Pool,' making US live debut next month in NYC (dates, streams)
by Bill Pearis
Danish quartet When the Saints Go Machine have been around since the mid-’00s, making eerie, soulful dance music, distinguished in no small part by Nikolaj Manuel Vonsild’s vocals which lie somewhere between Arthur Russell and Antony. The group’s third album, Infinity Pool, is out next week (5/28) via !K7. You can watch videos for “Iodine” and first single “Love and Respect” (featuring Killer Mike), as well as stream a couple remixes of the latter, below. The whole album is streaming over at Pitchfork.
When Saints Go Machine are doing the European Summer Festival circuit (including Aarhus, DE’s Northside Festival that weirdly happens the same weekend as Brooklyn’s Northside festival). Then, the band will jet our way next month for their first-ever U.S. show which happens in NYC at Glasslands on June 24. Tickets for that show are on sale now. It’s their only announced North American show.
UPDATE: They also play Pianos the next day (6/25). Tickets are on sale now.
All WSGM dates are listed, along with those videos and stream, below.
