Hexstatic - When Robots Go Bad

The dynamic duo Hexstatic return to the fray with ‘When Robots Go Bad’, their finest album yet.Taking their electro obsession to greater heights than ever before, ‘WRGB’ finds Robin Brunson and Stuart Warren-Hill mashing up sounds and influences in search of the ultimate machine groove.  ·From first track ‘Red Laser Beam’ they lay out their wares - crunching guitar samples, huge drum box beats and enough synths to drown a nation beneath a sea of (sine) waves. It's such a euphoric opening that it's hard to imagine how they can keep the pressure up. First single ‘Roll Over’ quickly lays any fears to rest. Featuring new vocal find Sabirajade, this is a swinging groove of heavily-layered keyboards and soulful, sultry vocals. ‘Tokyo Traffic’ takes the tempo up again for an acidic, glitchy, serialist pop-locker of a tune that just about makes sense of the term "future-retro". ‘Freak Me’ features B+, a female MC from Oz, who effortlessly rides a more minimalist, sexy, funky riff. Continuing the sexy theme, ‘Prom Night Party’ is a complete re-work of a classic 'lost' track from Mike Ladd's Majesticons project.
