The New York-based electronic/post punk band Ike Yard, who recorded on Factory records in the 80's and reformed as a trio in 2007, has released a new 5- song EP "Sacred Machine".<br>Ike Yard takes a recombinant approach with this release, looking across decades of musical inquiry, yet facing the future. Each song on the EP draws from different sources in the band's history and technique, each time different and with new ambitions. The "Sacred Machine" EP is defined by detailed drum layers supported by multiple basses and keyboards, some off-timing beat patterns that turn in a second of synchronicity, and includes first time guest vocal collaborations. <br>"Night Klub" revisits Ike Yard's title track , "Night After Night" from their 1981 EP. "Sacred Machine" might be familiar to those who caught the band in 2014 at festivals in Berlin and Japan, as a dark ambient jam now pulled into focus. The night airport music of "Tear Drop" features guest vocals by Camella Lobos of Tropic of Cancer, and "Spit" explores the Ike Yard "NCR" style with jittery beats, stomping across the shadowed streets of '80's Hudson yards nightlife. The post/punk club track, "Slaves of Janet", with unused lyrics from the Factory LP, features backing vocals from Erika Belle on bed of dueling rhythm guitars and synth screams.
