Sung by Agnew, who takes center stage in the video, \u201cTime Machine\u201d is a psychedelicized stroll through cultural and political events of the last century. Additionally, the clip features footage of Elliott, Gray and Scabies during PATM\u2019s live debut at London\u2019s 100 Club in 2018, cartoon versions of the band members designed by NYC artist Cliff Mott, a Madness-influenced \u201cnutty boy\u201d dancer, and a not-so-menacing plastic dinosaur. Agnew\u2019s white lab coat isn\u2019t merely a costuming prop; for his day job, Agnew is a mathematics professor at Cal-State Fullerton.\u00a0

\u201c\u2019Time Machine\u2019 says a lot about how Sean and I feel about the state of affairs in the world\u2014all the tumult\u2014and it\u2019s even more relevant now than when we were writing it a year ago,\u201d says Agnew. \u201cThe song\u2019s title works on a couple of levels. It ties in with the concept of revisiting our youth which is at the heart of the new album, and it also references the music of the 1960s-1980s which greatly influenced our new set of songs. Although I initially thought the main muse for \u2018Time Machine\u2019 was Wings-era Paul McCartney, I quickly realized Brian Wilson was also in our heads. I guess you could say we were channeling Paul McWilson.\u201d
