Rain Machine is the title of Kyp Malone’s latest solo effort. The guitarist has been hard at work writing, recording and performing under a string of different aliases since he moved to New York in 2000, before joining ‘TV On The Radio’ in 2003. With the release of his self-titled album it is easy to see how much of a role Kyp actually plays in shaping TVOTR’s sound when the opening track titled ‘Give Blood’ could easily be mistaken for something off of ‘Desperate Youth, Blood Thirsty Babes’, with its rugged bass and rich over distorted guitar tones. Other standout songs on the album include ‘New Last Name’ and ‘Desperate Bitch’ on which Malone seems to take a softer and a more subtle approach, bringing his strong vocal and lyrical ability to the forefront. I would certainly recommend buying this album to anyone who enjoys intelligent heartfelt song writing.
