About the Album
Label: Velvet Elk
Beautiful Small Machines’ follow up single to their critically acclaimed debut EP, Robots in Love. Simple Joys is a heartfelt ode to the lead replicant characters, Roy and Pris, in the sci-fi classic “Blade Runner.” Singer Bree Sharp digs in for some of her best lyrics to date…
I was built from the cold of man
With the hands of Marquis de Sade (a cruel façade)
If I could somehow spend another day with you
I’d pluck out the eyes of God
Featuring the distinct vocals of Duran Duran‘s own Simon LeBon, who became a fan of the band early on, Simple Joys is a mature leap in the songwriting of Beautiful Small Machines, and a slight twist to their bouncier predecessor.
