The Answering Machine might have started life a few years ago to a wave of giddy industry adulation and press accolade. Then, they were a starry-eyed trio with a clutch of bedroom recorded, drum machine backed indie-pop nuggets. Snapped to singles deals and for publishing, the trio began trading on their raucous youthful exuberance and innocent good looks.

By the end of 2008, they had locked themselves up in a remote North Yorkshire studio with Manic Street Preachers & Idlewild producer Dave Eringa at the helm, ready to record their essential first album.

Later this year, with intensity & maturity, they’ll be able to deliver their devastating pop tales on their debut long player, Another City, Another Sorry.

Their good friends from Manchester Tim & Sam have done a remix of their new single, “Obviously Cold”. Enjoy.
