Rain Machine: "Give Blood" (Audio)

7:35 p.m. · July 21, 2009 · by Michael Hoven

"Give Blood" is the first song from Rain Machine's self-titled debut album and is only titled like a public service announcement. Rain Machine is the solo project of TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone, and this song is a forceful display of Malone's abilities that features a variety of percussion and unconventional vocals suitable for a Tom Waits song. Take something off Rain Dogs, up the tempo and add a lot more groove, and you'll come close to "Give Blood." [Pitchfork]
