Following two EPs, 2009's 0.5 – PRESUMPT10N and 2011's 0.5 – ASSUMPTION and a couple of compilation appearances, Hobart duo MACH1NES 0F 1NDETERM1NATE 0R1G1N release their first full length album '1.0 – SYMPT0MS'. Writing for the 8 song album began soon after the the July 2011 release of their second EP with recording taking place from the later half of 2011 and early 2012. The majority of the album was recorded at guitarist Aaron Metcalf home studio The Shed. Some vocal elements were recorded in public conveniences and underpass tunnels to incorporate natural acoustics. The album was mixed at drummer/vocalist Matt Warren's studio Dead Letter Office, towards the middle of 2012. 

And finally courtesy of RSR, M010 will also release the album on a hand-numbered limited edition of 100 12” vinyl LP, remastered by James Plotkin.

Available now via the Rough Skies Bandcamp or via Tommy Gun Records in Hobart.

Here's a video for the song "Stab", made by Sally Rees:

Kinda chuffed to be putting out our first vinyl release, a live recording of the Hobart Improv Collective performing on top of Mount Wellington in Hobart in January 2012.

Limited to 100 copies with each sleeve individually hand-designed, the album will be launched at Tommy Gun Records on Record Store Day on Saturday the 20th of April.

The Improv Collective will be doing two performances in-store during the day and the LP (if not sold out on the day) will be available via the Rough Skies Bandcamp
