Ubiquity Machine is Channeling Desire and Lovers with "Angela"

Washington, D.C.-based indie-alt duo Ubiquity Machine has released a sincere meditation of longing in their new single “Angela.” Known for their poetic lyricism and experimental sonic elements, the duo sets a dreamy, slow-simmering ballad to explore the raw, real feeling of infatuation mixed with the uncertain tension of unarticulated love.

The dreamy quality of “Angela” fuzzy guitars, an echoing vulnerability, and a wistful melancholia tells the story of longing. The Rabbit's vocals float naturally through the hazy production with vulnerable sincerity, ultimately capturing the hopeless feeling of wanting to belong to someone so much that you could forever live on their couch.

With the nostalgic tone of late-night diners, “Angela” conjures cinematic imagery, love notes on napkins, eye glances between tables in a dark, gleaming neon room; it is melancholy yet rooted perfectly, mirroring the bitterness of wishing for permanence out of a void of connection. But, Ubiquity Machine's distinct ability to combine emotive storytelling with enveloping sound makes "Angela" more than just a song; it’s an extraction of emotion. With an album on its way, Ubiquity Machine proves to be experts at locating the strange beauty in connection.
