Los Angeles-based progressive rock band Days Between Stations is set to release its fourth album, Perpetual Motion Machines (Music For A Film), on November 29. Ahead of the album launch, they have released a new music video for the track “Seeds.”
The video highlights artist Jean-Paul Bourdier’s creative process, mixing visual art with landscapes, painted bodies, and experimental film techniques. Bourdier’s approach aligns with the band’s vision for pushing boundaries in both sound and imagery.
One of the album’s tracks, “Being,” which felt incomplete during production, evolved with the help of Pink Floyd backing vocalist Durga McBroom. Co-founder Oscar Fuentes reflected on the song’s development, explaining how it came to embody themes of existence and drew inspiration from Bourdier’s poetic philosophy. A music video for “Being” will debut on November 29, coinciding with the album release.
The project was produced by Navon Weisberg, best known for his work with The Voice and Puddle of Mudd. Weisberg described his role as clearing technical obstacles to allow band members Sepand Samzadeh and Oscar Fuentes to fully channel their creative energies.
The album is dedicated to the late Bill Kaylor, an engineer who contributed to the band’s early sessions and their second album, In Extremis.
Days Between Stations formed in Los Angeles 20 years ago, taking their name from Steve Erickson’s novel. The duo has collaborated with renowned artists, including Yes’ Billy Sherwood and The Pineapple Thief’s Bruce Soord. Their previous albums, Days Between Stations (2007), In Extremis (2012), and Giants (2020), feature diverse contributions from prominent musicians like McBroom.
The band has also contributed to film soundtracks, with songs like “Radio Song” from their debut album featured in the independent film Young, Single & Angry (2006), and in Paul & Trisha: The Art of Fluidity (2023) on Apple Movies. Additionally, they scored the 2017 short film Y Recibir Tu Aliento.
