Sewing Machines

About Me

Sewing Machines is the primary musical outlet of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/producer Max Horwich. Though he sometimes works alone, he is usually joined by a rotating lineup of musically-inclined friends. Born, raised, and schooled in Connecticut, he currently lives in Chicago.

Sewing Machines' full-length debut, Sundays, is available for free download through Future Folk Records , a web label co-run by Max and Philadelphia-based sound artist Rod O'Connor.

Sounds Like: "...[R]ollicking American folk-pop, landing at some hook-heavy intersection of the Band and Fleet Foxes. Try as you might, I don’t think you’re going to be able to hear songs like 'Celebrate' or 'A Little Rain' without remembering at least part of the chorus... <[i>Sundays] is lush, meticulous, and hooky as hell."
-Joshua Sharp, Aural Wes
