Secret Machines is an American rock band formed in 2000 in Dallas, TX. The band consists of Josh Garza on drums and Brandon Curtis on vocals and bass. With their unique blend of psychedelic and alternative rock, Secret Machines has gained a loyal following over the years. Their music is characterized by intricate melodies, powerful rhythms, and thought-provoking lyrics. Since their formation, they have released several critically acclaimed albums and have toured extensively around the world. Secret Machines continues to captivate audiences with their mesmerizing live performances and innovative sound.

In a world turned upside down, The Secret Machines are back, and looking for light in the chaos. Awake In the Brain Chamber, the band's fourth LP and first recorded output in more than ten years, is the sound of things falling apart, with the hope of dawn touching the horizon. If there is a crack in everything, Curtis and Garza are more interested in the light coming in. Curtis' darkly prophetic lyrics speak of isolation and fear, while Garza's frenetic, pounding drum beats sound of the four horsemen. But just when things look their worst, the Machines' beautifully ethereal space-rock takes us away to a different, safe destination: A place with angels, where dreaming is alright, and life blooms from a new disaster. After 2008's album Secret Machines, Brandon joined Interpol as their touring keyboard player. Original guitarist Benjamin Curtis died of lymphoma in 2013 at the age of 35, but despite having left the band in 2007 to focus on his other project School Of Seven Bells, his influence remains on the duo of brother Brandon Curtis and drummer Josh Garza and their space-rock and "krautrock, but with choruses".
