Secret Machines: Nowhere Again

Devonté Hynes’ piano improvisation, Kindness’ “World Restart,” a look back at Secret Machines and more in the music we tweeted this week

Milo Greene band member Graham Fink is behind this week’s #PrivateJam, and the LA-based musician tells us of his selection: “In 2004, I graduated from high school and the Secret Machines were the soundtrack. I thought their album, Now Here is Nowhere, was incredible then, and it has really stood the test of time for me. ‘Nowhere Again‘ is still my go-to jam for long drives, when I need an energy boost and a good few minutes of air drumming. Sadly their original guitarist, Ben Curtis, passed away at the end of last year—at just 35—after a struggle with cancer. They played a big role in my understanding of what a modern ‘rock’ band could be, as I transitioned into an actual career in music, and I’m grateful for the records that they released.”
