I Speak Machine, the experimental music act and audio-visual project of musician Tara Busch, is excited to announce the release of their brand new full-length album, WAR. Created with filmmaker and collaborator Maf Lewis, co-produced with Dean Honer (Roísín Murphy, Add N To (X)), and out today, WAR is a collection of Busch’s most visceral, confrontational and honest music yet.

Exploring the world of music technology, vintage synthesizers and production for over a decade, the genesis of I Speak Machine was in 2013 when musician Tara Busch produced a live score for filmmaker Maf Lewis’ debut short horror film, The Silence. From there, a personal and professional relationship developed, leading to the formation of the audio-visual project.

Now based in LA, Busch remotely co-produced WAR with Sheffield- based Dean Honer (Roísín Murphy, Add N To (X)). For years, she had worked alone, releasing albums with on seminal record labels Lex Records in London and Tummy Touch Records in New York, feeling pressured to prove that she could be self-reliant as a female artist. It was a freeing choice to allow another voice into the project — particularly Honer, whom Busch had long admired for his work with Add N To (X).
