If one had to describe Mechanimal with a single reference to genre, then 'drone 'n' roll', a name the members themselves give their music, would suffice: an explosive concoction of industrial synthetic sounds and krautrock rhythmology, penetrated by shoegazing guitars and spoken word poetry, spreading through musical tales of an obscure urban landscape.

Mechanimal's 'Secret Science' speaks of the need for survival and recounts tales of a restless urban environment. Each track, as a lyric theatrical one-act, opens new avenues to the sonic palette of the band, where narrative aphorisms, analogue synthesizers, underground dub rhythmic passages and angry guitars compose the unique code of their 'secret science'. Ten drone 'n' roll stories from those you do not hear in the news, but rather discover in the streets of a city that stays awake by the sounds of sirens.
