Entre la démesure épique de Arcade Fire et la power pop psyché des New Pornographers se pose le rock baroque de Immaculate Machine.
"Immaculate Machine are a Canadian indie pop band from Victoria, British Columbia. The group, which is made up of Brooke Gallupe on guitar, Kathryn Calder on keyboards, and Luke Kozlowski on drums, released two self-published albums before signing with Mint Records in early 2005; their Mint Records debut, Ones and Zeros, came out on September 6, 2005, and they supported the album with a tour of Canada and the United States. The band makes frequent use of two and three-part vocal harmonies; all members share vocal duties both live and in the studio.

The band began attracting national and international attention in 2005 when Calder became a sometime member of The New Pornographers, appearing on the album Twin Cinema and touring with the band. Calder is the niece of New Pornographers leader A.C. Newman.
The band's name is taken from the lyrics of One-Trick Pony from the album One-Trick Pony by Paul Simon.
In early June 2007, the band's song, Jarhand was featured as the iTunes free single of the week."
Le groupe a débuté les hostilités avec The View, un passionnant EP de 6 titres ne contenant que des perles. S'ensuit Transporter l'année d'après, tout aussi imparable et délirant. Ones and Zeros paraît l'année suivante encore, en 2005 donc, et fait davantage le pont entre Grandaddy et Weezer - ou entre Pinback et Stars - ou entre Ozma et Spoon ... Bref. En 2006 sort le EP Les Uns Mais Pas Les Autres qui comporte six chansons tirées du précédent album traduites en français. Et last but not least, le fantastique Immaculate Machine's Fables est paru cette année, troisième effort du groupe et troisième réussite, avec des vrais morceaux de beau monde dedans.
