The Immaculate Machine's debut on Mint is a great presentation of the band's sound: energetic, uplifting, and smart pop.
Like the Organ, the Immaculate Machine's sound is warm but with traces of cool air — the songs, however upbeat, change from buoyant to melancholy within a chord progression.
The Immaculate Machine, however, write songs with jangle and liveliness that keeps them far removed from the Organ's sluggish approach to pop.

Apparently it’s been acting up lately and, at the moment, Calder is in London, Ontario, crossing her fingers and hoping that her beloved van will be able to transport the band safely back home to Victoria.
But anyhow, somehow he heard about Immaculate Machine and that I could actually sing, and AC asked me to be sing and play on Twin Cinema (the latest New Pornographer’s album); it was really fun.”
Immaculate Machine has undoubtedly benefited from Calder’s association with the New Pornographers, but even without the additional exposure, they’ve still managed to carve out quite a reputation for themselves since the band’s inception three years ago.

I knew what most of the band looked like (with the exception of Neko Case, like unkempt session musicians), but was drooling over the chance to see their majestic, songs explode from their instruments live.
British Colombia's three-piece Immaculate Machine opened the incestuous show, fronted by Carl Newman's niece, the adorable Kathryn Calder, who has filled in admirably for Neko on the dates she's too full of Tequila to belt out "Mass Romantic." All members contributed equally, including the spazzy drummer, who got vocal duties on two numbers.
It was during their set that I realized my digital camera wasn't charged, and I left for a song to plug the battery in behind some nasty cobwebs next to the bar.

With another band on tonight's bill launching into its soundcheck, we move to the only quiet space we can think of - a back stairwell where the stench of garbage is so overpowering that we immediately seek refuge elsewhere.
But the next corner of the venue proves little better: As all three members of Immaculate Machine perch on another set of stairs, and I hover awkwardly over them, we have to move out of the way so a gentleman can carry assorted boxes and furniture up to his apartment above the bar.
Opting not to follow the lead of other super-sized Canadian indie bands, Immaculate Machine has kept it small - the three high school friends not even bothering to employ a bassist, with Calder handling that duty on keyboard instead.

Last Halloween, I was in Victoria B.C. when synchronicity struck me and I happened to be in the same bar as the band Immaculate Machine.

 Harmonium » Archive » Immaculate Machine - Ones and Zeroes
Let’s look at the facts: Both bands are Canadian (obviously), both utilize both a male and a female vocalist, and the best songs from both involve the latter in a prominent role (“Phone Number,” “Invention 77,” and “No Way Out” for Immaculate Machine, everything Neko Case has ever touched for the New Pornographers).
So Immaculate Machine made a competent pop album.
There are at least seven good songs on it, and nothing worth skipping.

From the town that hatched such folk as Hot Hot Heat, Carolyn Mark, No Means No, the Buttless Chaps and more, Victoria BC’s Immaculate Machine is Mint Records’ latest find, a band we — and many others — are pretty nuts about.
Having built an enthusiastic following in Canada with two full tours under their youthful belts, Immaculate Machine are primed to make an impressive introduction to America.
Here are three reasons: a great debut, a band member’s contribution to The New Pornographers’ upcoming Twin Cinema, and a full-on U.S. tour supporting The New Pornographers.

This machine calls themselves HOTSHOTROBOT: a satisfying and surprising mix of the best of their diverse influences, resulting in a quirky dance party-all delivered with a street-smart wink and playful shove.
Driven by the forces of melody and oscillating between sometimes-whimsical and aggressive lyrics, the result is undoubtedly distinct.
Although comparatively categorized in the Halifax scene as a new band their captivatingly tight and vivacious live shows have caught the ears and attention of local promoters who chose them as complimentary to open for touring bands Immaculate Machine (Victoria, BC) and controller.controller (Toronto, ON).

If it had been a They Might Be Giants or Ben Folds concert, the place would have been packed within five minutes or so after doors, because people would have lined up outside five hours beforehand.

I'd seen Immaculate Machine once before, a couple years ago at Wavelength.
The cynical might have assumed they were only on this bill because of nepotism (singer Kathryn Calder is head Pornographer Carl Newman's neice), so in that sense Immaculate Machine had something to prove.
The girl keyboardist is Kathryn Calder, also from Immaculate Machine.

Not enough good things can be said about it.
Quite an achievement for a band only formed in October of last year by two 22 year olds and a 21 year old from Victoria, B.C. Before forming Immaculate Machine they played in numerous bands together, from punk to psychedelic to retro R&B and folk.
Based on this EP it shows; it's damn hard to pin down their sound.
