Japanese Breakfast - Machinist (Official Video) 

this song is criminally underrated.............. this is probably my favorite song of all time and has been since I first heard it in 2017

"it could be bliss 🥺" "machinist..... 🥵🔌😳"

Autotune fits perfectly in this track. Sounds fucking great and fits the theme. That's how it's done!

Love the cyberpunk / anime vibe. I'm glad to see bands take chances and not stick to one formula. For the people complaining about the vocoder effect, the other new songs don't use it.

I will never understand why this song didn't catch on. It's still amazing.

Pretty sure the autotune was done to match the song's theme which is about falling in love with a robot. Didn't hear any autotune on the rest of their new stuff when they played live, so cool your jets folks

that sax solo tho

smh at everyone who is whining about the autotune. a e s t h e t i c s ya'll. fits tha song

To the commenters complaining that they can't find the official lyrics because "they exist nowhere", buy the record...the lyrics for every song are in the liner notes. Here they are for this song in the meantime. I don't know how it happened Was it always this way, and I just couldn't see it? Heart burning hot enough for the both of us I never realized how much you were holding back All the times I felt so plugged in You were tuning out A muted channel, a cold shell, a hologram, an abyss... How can I fight a kingdom of your demons? A mist, so palpable You can't have it all Her and all the pleasure A woman can give [woman]-Do you trust me? Can you feel it? [machine]-Total control, can't let go [woman]-It could be bliss [machine]-Machinist Can't speak, you wanted it all Let go a piece of your heart, all the pleasure it gives Leave me lost in the night Shadows go in and go by I just wanted it all Here's to the night! A lullaby a creepin' A song, to win your love See me at all? Through all of your aggressors The true one Can't speak, you wanted it all Let go a piece of your heart, all the pleasure it gives Leave me lost in the night Shadows go in and go by I just wanted it all

Vocoder is not autotuning. Also, when an artist plays a keyboard, the software tunes the note perfectly. This is acceptable. Yet somehow using your voice as an instrument that isnt fair or whatever? Music is about more than how difficult it is to execute no matter who you are. And i would argue that the difficulty to play music is absolutely completely and totally irrelevant to its validity as music and whether it sounds good or not

Love this direction. its better/more interesting to see artists experiment and explore then play it safe.

That synth melody is so TASTY

because the auto tune matches the theme. Come on, it's fantastic.

hey michelle nice moves keep it up proud of u

the fucking sax solo.

remember listening to this song when yall debuted it opening for Slowdive in montreal. Still bumping it nearly 7 years later lol

Love this song but couldn't find the lyrics anywhere, this is what I'm hearing: I don't know how it happened Was it always this way? And I just couldn't see it? Heart burning hot enough for the both of us I never realized how much you were holding back All the times I felt so plugged in You were tuning out A muted channel, a cold ship, a hologram, an abyss How can I fight a kingdom of your demons? A mist so palpable. You can't have it all Her and all the pleasures A woman can give Do you trust me? Can you feel it? Total Control Can't Let Go It could be bliss Machinist Can't speak You wanted it all Let go a piece of your heart All the pleasure gets Leave me lost in the night Shadow, you're running by I just wanted it all Here's to the night A lullaby a creepin' A song to win your love See me at all? Throw all of your aggressors on That you want

got to see this song live they closed with it and she climbed into the crowd at screamed into the mic at the end. energy at that stage was insane. great show.

This sounds like Grimes on Art Angels. So good.

Blade Runner vibes are never a bad thing! I love this song…it’s such an amazing atmosphere of synthetic energy and human feelings both coming together for an optimistic bond.

I just love everything about this song from the dreamy feeling, to the voice modulation, to the sax at the end. I'll have to join others here in saying this is one of my favorite songs ever.

This is personally my favorite Japanese Breakfast song, although I'm little biased because I'm probably a bit more poptimist than the core fan base. Still admire all her music and creative, narrative lyrics.

I cannot begin to describe how much I love this

This song has grown tremendously on me. Was the only song that I hated off Soft Sounds from Another Planet. After actually giving it a good re-listen, i can finally say I like the entire track list of an entire album, 12 for 12.

i’ve been obsessed with this song lately

You know your kid loves you when you get this album on vinyl as a Christmas present. 🎁 🎶 ❤️

Everything this woman does is gold!!

THIS IS GROOVY AS FUCK

I love this kind of comment section, where every top comment is defending the video against a comment that's at like, the bottom of the list.

Every time I go to play this song from iTunes I decide to come to RU-vid and play the incredible video along with it. So good, can't wait for the album next week.

HIGHLY underrated

I'm here from Frank Ocean. Good taste Frank.

wow at these 2046 references. love the song

It grew on me i'm in love with this

Valentines episode of Futurama, when Bender falls in love with the Planet Express ship. 😍 🦾💋💋💋 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 great song 🎵 too.

i love every second of this

this song grew on me so much

unfucking believable I've been waiting so long for something like this masterpiece, this video is gonna explode

This song really grew on me. I love it!

I just discovered her, but I'll be bummed if this is the only song in her new album that I end up liking.

this video should have waaaay more views. love you guys!

Such a smooth song and a chill vibe. Cant stop listening

This song is so great

I love the way she said running!!

Beautiful! The music, makeup, all of it. 👏😌

THIS SHiT ROCKS

aaah I love this direction I wish she keeps experimenting with this sound for the rest of the album too!

I just noticed the beginning is liek the ending of their other song "Road Head"

This song is so good man, her natural voice is amazing but she somehow tuned it and hit it out of the park. Added to the playlist for sure

Liberating... I love this, thank you

One of the best productions of 2017!

This is such a great song.

I remember seeing ya'll live for the first time and trying SO HARD to find this song but a year later HERE WE ARE I'M SO HAPPY

Just Discovered this band and I’m in love! This song is freaking amazing! Love the auto tune it fits the song so well and shows that auto tune can be used in a artistic way and not just because someone really can’t sing.

Such a cool concert to start my weekend. You are amazing my gosh

cant stop to listen this wonderfull song !!!

Michelle never fails to surprise and amaze

So coool, love the retro vibes, enjoyed listening to this a lot! :)

I LOVE IT

So 90's... so perfect

Man, I need some official lyrics- they exist nowhere. I wanna dissect all of this on paper, but some of the words are spoke so dreamily with their electronic alterations that they escape my mortal perception.

im in love whit this band

love love love, keep it up you guys!!! 💖☄💘

love this

So strangely addictive... definitely a good song to drive fast to at night.

i love this!

I want to go hear the rest of this story!!

Great artist

such an incredible artist

AMAZING!

I was definitely surprised when they played this live, but the drastic new sound does fit with the video! And if you're not quite feeling it, they played a few other new tracks and they are closer to the "usual" Japanese Breakfast sound, from what I could gather. Definitely looking forward to Soft Sounds From Another Planet!

Me at 4am, heart at 600 bpm from the caffeine, sweating, half-suicidal, trying to get the blueprints done on deadline: "Oh SHIT, forgot to add the little hearts"

Awesome!!!

Obsessed after seeing this live at the Brudenell last year!

wow!

Yes

This song is so perfect i almost don't believe it, incredible amzeing blaaaaa

Michelle. You are love. 💜

On repeat

I remember watching this video in my dad computer I’m so happy I found it again I love this song💕

This is gonna be a good album, I already know. Make my summer lit again, Japanese Breakfast.

best song in the album

Banger

Very nicely done!!! I'm glad I found you. I also like how your vocals get out in front of your instruments and resonate back to the music....if that makes sense. Take care.

literally godly..

So goofy! Song is catchy. Thanks for the upload! DAT SAX!

Great bass line

People, autotune can be awesome, don't forget, this woman can SING, the point of it was for the theme of the song, and it fits perfectly! this is a great change of pace from the first album!

So nostalgic!!
