Following a feverish succession of singles and the release of her EP ‘Cry’ in 2020, time off-the-road has meant one thing for San Mei – more songwriting and production. 2021 sees San Mei dive headfirst into production for her next body of work, taking charge of her creative vision founded by some exciting ‘new inspo’ – a space of industrial rock and 90s grunge.

“In The Machine” produced by Emily Hamilton (San Mei) and long-time studio drummer and collaborator Michael McCartney, is like a lost track from the ‘Batman Forever’ soundtrack, or an unreleased single from Garbage. Gnarly guitars, gritty synth and industrial drum programming, pulses away in clever contrast to San Mei’s haunting yet ethereal vocals. Hamilton explains, “I took a bit of a different sonic approach with this song and I thought that using some industrial sounds and having a bit of a mechanical feel would really suit it, which I think we achieved with a lot of the drum patterns and sounds. I still wanted to make sure it felt a bit surreal and dreamy at the same time, so the verb’ed-out vocals and wash of synths were important to include in the track”.

For Hamilton, the song is as a reminder not to get stuck in the motions of everyday life and be operating on auto pilot, but to keep striving and be who you want to be. She says, “once I stepped back, I realised I wasn’t happy with the person I was becoming and that I needed to remember who I was and the goals I had for myself. Growth is really important to me, and sometimes life can wear us down until we’re just operating on autopilot, so this song is me telling myself to wake up and get moving”.
