Easily one of the most active bands in Portugal’s heavy underground right now, the Lisbon trio MAQUINA is back with a new album. Body Transmission stands as their most accessible record to date. They kept the raw techno, krautrock, and EBM elements that put them on the map, but reeled the chaos in with tighter structures and really catchy songwriting.

On their sophomore album Souvenir, Knitting balances alt-rock nostalgia with staggering vulnerability, turning the vocal booth into a deeply intimate diary.

Nothing deliver their most stylistically varied and unflinchingly honest work yet—proving that true weight comes from vulnerability, not just volume.
