So, we recently told you about Jonah Falco & Mike Haliechuk from F*CKED UP 's other band, Jade Hairpins ... well, now Jonah & Mike are back with yet ANOTHER other band, MASTERPIECE MACHINE . Not entirely unlike Jade Hairpins , it appears as though MASTERPIECE MACHINE was birther from F*CKED UP album sessions; although, this time, in addition to Jonah Falco & Mike Haliechuk , they've recruited a third member for MASTERPIECE MACHINE , Riley Gale from POWER TRIP . "Jonah & I were in the studio for two years writing the last F*CKED UP album, [ Dose Your Dreams ] and ended up with tons of music that didn't fit on the album. We had these two specific songs that sounded huge and aggressive, so we wanted to carve them off into their own project," Mike Haliechuk recently told REVOLVER . In stark contrast to both F*CKED UP & POWER TRIP , MASTERPIECE MACHINE —at least, from their debut single, "Rotting Fruit"—MASTERPIECE MACHINE appear t...

Aside from his duties in F*CKED UP , Jonah Falco has stayed busy as of late, mixing/playing drums on GAME 's full-length debut, NO ONE WINS , producing Chubby & The Gang 's "All Along The Uxbridge Road" 7-inch and raucous 2020 album, Speed Kills , mixing and recording Scrap Brain 's A Journey Into Madness , and, most recently, mixing S.H.I.T. 's two one-off singles, "HIDDEN IN ETERNITY" & "ERASER III." It was very recently revealed that Falco is, also, behind mysterious Alternative/Dream Pop group, Jade Hairpins .

I'm, personally, reminded a bit of the bleeps and blips of The Bravery, The Cure, Four Tet, LCD Soundsystem, and New Order. Seemingly, out of nowhere, Monday afternoon, Merge Records (@mergerecords) mysteriously Tweeted , "~ t o m o r r o w ~," along with a 9-second video and a glowing Jade Hairpins logo. As promised, the following day, Tuesday, February 4, 2020, @mergerecords Tweeted, "Hhhhhaayyyyyeeeeelllllloooo! Back in 2018, Jade Hairpins emerged mysteriously like a pair of cranes from a tall grove, shared their immediately danceable debut 12-inch single, "Mother Man" B/W "Gracefully,...
