Robotanists - The King Of Limbs.

"While most Radiohead fans were still soaking in the band's new album, Los Angeles' glamorous indie-pop group Robotanists reinterpreted, recorded and released their own version of The King of Limbs in its entirety, just 24 hours after its release".

For Robotanists `The King Of Limbs` cover is of course a notable side project and melodic self indulgence - I would guess that the LA outfit also having their new and third album release `Plans In Progress` available is not merely an artist coincidence but a mischievous and clever honey trap. Indeed the system works - quite ingenious I`d say, I`m positive the band`s seven track release would have sailed straight past on our conveyor belt of mis-guided love, but hey, that`s the art of curiosity for you. `Plans In Progress` is pure stripped down Pop, Sarah Ellquist`s casual vocal approach and sultry awareness promotes more awareness than today's current crop of ear candy. We played the album three times today, might play it three times tomorrow, you may notice we like this record.

I`m extremely proud with the fact we can groove about countless genres, in retrospect mojophenia has become an audio sumptuous pick & mix, Shoegaze one week and Sixties Soul the next. I still find Electrolica/Indie Pop awkward to post - the blogging hot potato, it`s work in progress regarding editorial paranoia and holding aloft a ten foot neon sign saying - Gatecrasher!



"Comprised of songwriters Sarah Ellquist (vocals & keys) and Daniel DeBlanke (guitar, keys) and rhythm section Keith Boyarsky (bass) and Preston Scott Phillips (drums), ROBOTANISTS have spent the past couple of years spreading their big choruses and delicate prose across North America on tour and on the radio".
