misfit by MAQUINA.
Lisbon trio MAQUINA. return with new single ‘misfit’, released October 31st 2025 via Fuzz Club on a limited 12” with fold-out film poster and backed by a club-ready remix courtesy of Parisian electronic duo Leroy se Meurt on the flipside. Clocking in at nearly 9 minutes of raw, scuzzy power, ‘misfit’ is a menacing, slow-grinding clash between floor-shaking EBM and industrial krautrock repetition. It arrives following their 2023 ‘PRATA’ LP, the recent vinyl reissue of their debut ‘DIRTY TRACKS FOR CLUBBING’ LP and in the midst of relentless touring across Europe and the UK – including festival appearances at Primavera Porto, Eurosonic, Roadburn, Trans Musicales, Leffingeleuren, Into The Great Wide Open, Sonic Blast, Grauzone and more.
“This song was created with the idea of a soundtrack for a horror movie in mind”, MAQUINA. say: “We were invited to record a track right after finishing the recording of our second album PRATA. At the time, we didn’t have any song or idea ready, but we accepted the challenge. Around that period, Boy Harsher had released ‘The Runner’ and was putting out ‘My Animal’, which was very inspiring for us to start shaping our proposal. It was also a time when we were watching a lot of horror films, and I think all of that combined helped the idea develop naturally. The song tells a story of a hunt, an evil mind; perhaps a stalker, or simply paranoia.The song tells a story of a hunt, an evil mind; perhaps a stalker, or simply paranoia. The song was recorded in December 2023 in Porto produced by João Valente @polivalent.e and us. The video was made in a collaborative effort with Gabriel Nery. The B-side remix was done by our friends Leroy se Meurt. PLAY IT LOUD!”
