The Shadow Machine

Indiefolk/slowcore-sadcore artist with his band.

The Shadow Machine

The Shadow Machine is the brainchild of songsmith Jo Geboers. One can expect tracks that arise from the creative domain of the grisly, netherworld side of life, but equally leave room for hope and color. In his sentimental songs, songwriter Jo Geboers poetically exercises his tormentors and, through emotional, intense musicality, embraces his own vulnerabilities. Geboers’ compelling craftsmanship and baritone voice may be reminiscent of those of icons such as Nick Cave or Matt Berninger (The National).

general information

Today, debut EP ‘Cities Of Light’ has garnered over 75,000 streams. Apart from a video premiere via magazine Knack Focus, The Shadow Machine was also on the front cover of the Spotify curated playlist “Indie Goesting”. Also on radio stations like Studio Brussel, KINK, INDIE XL and UrgentFM one could already discover The Shadow Machine. The act was also dubbed ‘Fresh Fish’ by WILLY. daMusic already made the comparison with Marble Sounds’ hit ‘Leave a Light On’ and according to Dansende Beren “the talent is musically splashing”. The Shadow Machine is also selected for Humo’s Rock Rally 2022.

This EP was produced by Bert Vliegen (Sophia, Whispering Sons) and mastered by Laurens Grossen (Whispering Sons, Rumours). Together with Dennis Mahieu (Cloudy-Oh), Wannes Nimmegeers (Quasiland) and Guillaume Trotta, Jo translates the story of The Shadow Machine into an authentic, warm, yet dark sound
