I downloaded a single track from a different album randomly the other day and was enthralled. Such an interesting sound. </p> <p>Ryland Bouchard's vocal deliver reminds me of Sparklehorse - the music... well it's not like anything I've ever heard before. The whole thing has a WW2 era sound. I'm not sure if he's using old samples for it or if it's a whole new creation. Brilliant either way.</p> <p>The lyrics are a extremely political commentary on the state of the world - but done in what feels like a tongue-in-cheek way. "Jesus and Hitler were in the back seat trying to make out, their tongues were twisted and tied around their mouths"</p> <p>So an interesting work. Pure genius really.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/the_robot_ate_me/on_vacation#comments 2005 alternative country twisted Sat, 23 Jun 2007 10:56:38 -0500 aidan 85 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
