Happy Machine (EP)

Happy Machine, Dubioza kolektiv’s second EP, consists of three tracks: two in English and one in Spanish. "No Escape (from Balkan)" talks about a "gastarbeiter" who left his homeland in search for a better life in the West. The second song, "Free.mp3", is dedicated to founders of The Pirate Bay: Gottfrid Svartholm and Peter Sunde, who have been incarcerated for their creation of the site in Denmark and Sweden respectively. The song questions copyright in the digital age, privacy on the Internet, and freedom of information. Spanish band La Pegatina is guest in song “Hay Libertad”.
