Everyday Robots

Damon Albarn

Sparse piano loops and field recordings meet weary, intimate vocals. A quiet meditation on how technology and memory shape our modern isolation.

April 22, 2014 · Parlophone

Find on Amazon

A quiet, tech-weary melancholy that finds a strange kind of peace in isolation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, mechanical violin loop that opens the title track, mimicking the repetitive motion of swiping a screen.
The sudden, joyful shift into the Leytonstone City Mission Choir's harmonies on the closing anthem.
The seven-minute centerpiece 'You and Me' where the sparse beat dissolves into a hazy, dub-influenced second half.
