My Tiny Robots- 'Rock Bossa Nova Four Beat Black'
Scottish four-piece My Tiny Robots are the musical equivalent of a curious old shop full of gizmos and gadgetry that baffle and inspire in equal measure.
Their kooky, off-kilter sound sparkles into glorious life in latest single, 'Rock Bossa Nova Four Beat Black'. If you sit there trying to unriddle the title, you're off to a bad start. Theirs is the kind of music which you just need to slip into like a lovely warm bath, letting their synth-smattered art rock sound wrap you up.
Laced with a charmingly awkward quirkiness, the melodies that spill from these few short minutes bring to mind the likes of The Flaming Lips and Modest Mouse. Electronica gently buzzes under twanging guitar and softened vocals as the sound swells into the catchy choruses and breezy verses. It's a lovely slice of the unconventional to warm your cockles.
