Hailing from Portsmouth in New Hampshire, Replaced By Robots is an exciting new trio that folds diverse talents and artistic backgrounds into a thrilling new sound. The group features the skills of Heather Joy Morgan, an accomplished fine oil painter from Berlin whose contributions see her take on vocals and synths.
Goolkasian, aka The Texas Governor, channels his experience from the Boston-based band The Elevator Drops, providing vocals and bass and completing the trio is Adam Wade, a punk purist known for his unapologetically loud and electrifying guitar work. Together, these three creatives fuse their talents into a project that breaks out of the constraints of genre and embraces the chaos of modernity.
Making their explosive artistic entrance, Replaced By Robots unveiled their original sound with their brand new debut single titled “The Laboratory,” a track as imaginative and provocative as the group’s name suggests. Taking influence from artists like Lovesick and Devo as well as styles such as new wave and punk, the song presents a compelling statement of intent from the band.
The song revolves around the wider themes of humanity’s inevitable confrontation with technology that the project sets out to explore, offering a context that’s at once unsettling and relevant. Mastered by Terry Palmer, “The Laboratory” delivers a raucous two minute ride that marks the arrival of Replaced By Robots in spectacular fashion.
Kicked off by the angular bite of twanging guitar tones while rolling drum patterns and sliding bass lines build up the energy. Stabby vocalisations arrive to usher in bursts of spaghetti western vibes as stacks of guitar and synth tones ride above the charging drums and pulsing bass lines as lively vocal elements pepper the arrangement with intensity.
Packed full of invigorating energy and dark atmosphere, with “The Laboratory” the band crafts an enthralling sound unlike anything else. Putting their highly original sound, pure creativity and unique sonic vision on full display, Replaced By Robots have made an impressive entrance with their riveting debut single and captivating artistic concept.
