Machines in Transit: Pop-electronica from the embassy.


Machines in Transit is an electronica duo from Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Brent Meyer -
(synths/programming/production); and
Todd Lester -
(synths/programming/drums)
played in traditional rock bands together in the 90s.

After Y2K scared them straight, they decided to experiment with electronica together and see where the road took them. Drawing from influences such as Imogen Heap, Royksopp, Thomas Dolby and Booka Shade, the duo set out to write electronic compositions, but keeping in mind pop songwriting sensibility.

The pair soon realized their ideas needed vocals. They approached singers over the Internet, and managed to find collaborators from Sweden, Germany and Boston. In the end, we hope people dig it. We can't ask for anything more than that.
