Ash premiere Machinery video

Ash have released a video for Machinery, taken from the band’s Kablammo! album.

It’s the third single to be taken from the album, following Cocoon and Free. The album, described by the band as a “streamlined blazing guitar record,” is the follow-up to 2007’s Twilight of the Innocents.

“It’s essentially a song about someone in modern times trying to find a real connection,” says singer Tim Wheeler. “It was one of the final ones we worked on,” adds bassist Mark Hamilton. “It’s just a beautiful melody.”

Kablammo! was launched with two secret shows in February. The band tour the UK and Ireland in December.
