Ubiquity Machine is Dan Marsh Howard Rabach and they have been writing and performing alternative/indie music for more than a decade, having accumulated over 100 songs together, in the DC Metro area.

Howard has over 25 years of performing, touring, and recording experience and Dan worked with multiple projects in the UK before emigrating to the USA and after taking some time out he is now back to making music! Both are multi-instrumentalists, producers, and songwriters.

Hey You is their latest single and was released on 11/02/2023.

The track is quite an easy going one, with relaxed drumming and guitarwork, although there is enough here to keep the listener hooked and drawn into the track. The drum beat, however soft, keeps the track driving forward and the catchy hooks will stay with you long after you have finished listening to the song.

The track builds up momentum towards the end of the song and there is a slight distortion as it does this, giving the track an almost grungey ending.

The aspect of this track that really stands out is the vocals. The leads are somewhat quirky, with an almost Doors-like psychedelic vibe to them and accompanied by some interesting backup vocals, this track really does have a brooding, melancholic feel.

The song is the tale of growing up alone at home and the search for a place in the world that feels like home and this is a theme that a lot of people can relate to, and its this relatability that will attract people to this song. Everybody needs sunshine in their life.

This is a great track that is captivating with a modern alternative twist and one that really does showcase the versatility of this very talented duo!
