UK’s The Answering Machine just finished up their sophomore LP Lifeline (due out sometime in the summer), and with just one song released from the album, you can tell The Answering Machine is setting their sights on a few “year end” polls. The Answering Machine worked with producers from London and New York, and did a majority of the writing in Tokyo – but the only place to record the album, they thought, was home (Manchester). An actual member of the band, Martin Colclough, produced the album and The Answering Machine recorded the album in their practice space. Giving Lifeline an “at home” feel as they possibly could.
