A.V. Club: Best of the Decade

Artist Beautiful Supermachines

  • Beautiful Supermachines Victoria Renard

David Williams has built an impressive career out of dabbling, getting his start in late-’70s punks The Vomit Pigs, graduating to hip-hop with Dallas’ Decadent Dub Team and The Jungle Brothers, and eventually working as a go-to sound engineer. He puts his vagabond years to good use in his new project Beautiful Supermachines: The group’s recent Shut Up is a Technicolor mélange of fuzz-box fireworks and aloof pop hooks layered with a producer’s ear for those all-important minor details, and informed by Williams’ wildly diverse palette.
