Skybox

side-scroller (2021) is inspired by “death music” in 2D platform video games (platformers). When a player loses or “dies” in a video game, often specific music will play, indicating to the player they have failed. Death music in early platformers often had upbeat descending melodic lines underlaid with triadic harmonies. In side-scroller’s opening phrases, failed jumps can be heard followed by death music. The piece chronicles a player’s progress through a game world. There’s extra health to be found. Secret passageways to be discovered. And a boss fight! Plus, a little “game over” sequence at the end.

I Wore It Just For You

“Robotanists are dreamscape designers who know how to make a great, great record… “The Lack Thereof” begins with a country twang, transitions into melodic-ballad heaven, and crescendos into spacey bliss that is something you would hear from Philip Glass. The melody snowballs into echoey euphoric vocals that sent chills down my spine.”
~ 402 Productions (USA)

“Beautiful, breathy vocals; style for miles; and epic compositional turns that pull you in without pretense.”
~ QRO Magazine (USA / UK)

“Seductive and ethereal, Plans in Progress melds the mechanical (synthesizers, midi-sequencing etc.) with the mortal (i.e. real instruments played by humans) akin to the legendary lads from Abingdon, Oxfordshire along with the sleek sexuality (and grooves) of latter day Blondie and Everything But The Girl.”
~ Amplifier Magazine (USA)

“Evocatively dreamlike without sacrificing command or precision. [Plans in Progress] moves consistently through a spectrum of hushed melodies, crashing choruses and driving rhythms. The Robotanists’ third full length album may be the shortest, but it’s the most relentless and auspicious in what lies ahead for the four piece.”
~ Indie Rock Reviews (USA)

“Robotanists set themselves apart from most bands, keeping an upbeat and interesting style at the same time as being deep and sensual.”
~ The Deli Magazine (USA)

“concentrated dose of brilliance… and with an LP full of fetching tracks [Plans in Progress], whose gigantic choruses will penetrate your subconscious and stay there.”
~ AerialNoise (USA)

“Plans in Progress is an album filled with longing and discovery… Robotanists have an electric future ahead of them. Comparable to The Sounds, but ten folds better”
~ My Favorite M.A.O.I. (USA)

“Let’s just face it.  The Robotanists have talent. Their drummer (Preston Scott Phillips) is amazing.  I always say, a band is only as good as their drummer.  And, Sarah Elquist DeBlanke is a real “singer”.  It’s so stupid, but there once was a time when the prerequisite for being a singer, was being able to sing (did I mention I just saw Glass Candy?).  Sarah CAN sing.  Daniel DeBlanke is one of my guitar heroes.  I like to think he plays like I do, but he actually plays like I would eventually want to be able to play if I practiced for 10 years.  Keith Boyarsky plays bass, and really keeps everything together when they play live.”
~ Radio Free Silver Lake (USA)

“Robotanists’ versatile music effortlessly blends elements of rock and pop, reflecting a spectrum of moods rather than a particular genre. Their songs evoke different atmospheres that are intriguing and captivating, with a seemingly metaphorical depth and alternately sedated sound.”
~ Carver Wilcox, Flavorpill (USA)

“Female-fronted indie at its finest, a soulful voice cast over booming guitar and the downright pretty production quality typical of the genre. The Robotanists are here to fill that void [of bands like Denali] in every respect, and “On/Off The Ledge” is as sincere as it is dancy, adjectives that normally take effort to pair together.“

The Ghost You're Haunting  (by ROBOTANISTS)

An original song written and recorded by Han and Al.

Come Back, You'll See

Music, lyrics and Arrangement by Michael Laster
Mixed and produced by Michael Laster and Taylor Bradshaw.
Recorded by Taylor Bradshaw at the Sonic Arts Center, New York, NY. 

Lead Vocals performed by Kolson Pickard
Backing vocals and all instruments performed by Michael Laster

A lot of time and effort went into mixing the track, so listen with good headphones if possible!

Intro

Verse 1:

Looking at my watch
Looking at my watch I can see, I can see
That the time is right my friend
-
Looking at the clock
Looking at the clock I can see, we can see
That the hands are right my friend
-
It’s hard to know what’s been projected
Everything’s just so connected now
...But how do you do?
-
The thoughts that keep you up at night
Something’s wrong but it’s alright now
Oh, how do you do?

Chorus:

We’ll never know what is to blame
Deep down we see it’s just a game
A game that’s taken on this physical dream

Drifting downstream and
Wasting our time
Breaking our mind in two
How do you do?

Verse 2:

Looking at the wall
Looking at the wall I can see I can see
That the bricks are right my friend
-
Looking through the night
Looking through the night I can see I can see
That the streets are right my friend
-
Unicorns and rusty nails
Butterflies and garbage pales
Oh what do you say?
-
Lock the door without a key
Close your eyes and look at me
Oh, what do you say?

*Chorus*

Solo

Interlude

Verse 3:

Searching for the truth
Searching for the truth I can know I can know
That your heart is right my friend
-
Listening to your song
Listening to your song I can hear I can hear
That the notes are right my friend
-
Do away with archetypes
Be with what is in plain sight now
Oh, what do you say?
-
What doesn’t kill you makes you strong
Giving birth to abstract songs
Oh, how do you do?

*Chorus*

Fold Me

Prison fights overnight
Leaving you to understand
Traffic lights who is right
Leaving you to understand

And I fly on a wing and a prayer
And I try forget all that is there

Prison fights overnight
Who was right
Leaving you to understand

If you fold me
Hold me under again

Faded roses off the vine
You keep yours and I’ll burn mine
Snapshots yellowed over time
Chill the glass that’s left behind

And I fly on a wing and a prayer
And I try forget all that is there

Faded roses off the vine
You keep yours and I’ll burn mine

If you fold me
Hold me under again

Hairy Nipples (Like To Lick 'Em)™

“this was her, Mick Kelly, walking in the daytime and by herself at night. in the hot sun and in the dark with all the plans and feelings. this music was her—the real plain her...this music did not take a long time or a short time. it did not have anything to do with time going by at all. she sat with her arms around her legs, biting her salty knee very hard. the whole world was this symphony, and there was not enough of her to listen... now that it was over there was only her heart beating like a rabbit and this terrible hurt.” 

– the heart is a lonely hunter by Carson McCullers

track 5 is a cover and a rip off. 

track 8 was mixed & mastered by Atlas Glås in Berlin, Germany.

everything else done by Mick Kelly in the Bronx, New York, on Munsee Lenape land, from 2018-2020. 
 
cover art includes an image from a "chirologia; or, the naturall language of the hand" by John Bulwer, 1644, an early English study of gesture.

thank you Efrem, Aaron, Jane, Jello, Jacob, and Grace, I love you and yours.
