The Answering Machine - Obviously Cold

TRACKLISTING:  A. Obviously Cold  B. Lightbulbs (james yull remix)                                                                                                                                OVERVIEW:  The Answering Machine release their new single ‘Obviously Cold’ on the 1st June 2009. It precedes their debut album, ‘Another City, Another Sorry’, on the 15st June, both through Heist or Hit Records.  
Following quickly in the success of recent single ‘Cliffer’, which saw The Answering Machine become the favourite new British band of choice across the UK radio airwaves and amongst the hardcore blogging fraternity, Manchester citygazers The Answering Machine unleash another indie dancefloor anthem in waiting, ‘Obviously Cold’. The band have also recently been stealing shows across the country on tour with Ra Ra Riot and Casiokids with their hugely uplifting, indie-pop songs to become one of the most talked about young acts today.                                                                      
Having spent most of 2008 prolifically writing several dozen new songs, the band locked themselves up in a remote North Yorkshire studio with Manic Street Preachers’ producer Dave Eringa, and return with their eagerly awaited debut album, ‘Another City, Another Sorry’, and a strong call to arms for the anxieties and dilemmas of their own generation.
The forthcoming album plots a path from the exuberant party lifestyle into the dawn of youthful realisation, those steps in-between and ultimately what comes next. If music’s revered social commentators are typically southern based, The Answering Machine are taking the North by the scruff of the neck, and presenting it with an assured understanding. Blanketed in bittersweet lyricism, the songs are emotionally charged, and fizzing with a distinctly pop sensibility. ‘Obviously Cold’ is the finest example of a band hitting full stride, and is set to send these four young Manchester residents stratospheric.
