Kells three-piece Nanobots have just put out their first long playing album Plastic Alley, their first release since 2011’s Sparticles EP. Synthesizer melodies and tones combine with a digital-drum-lead band format to make a hazy electro-rock project, which at times, recalls the likes of Vondelpark.
You can check out the album in full at Bandcamp, but I recommend starting with the opening track, suitably enough. It’s a sweet-sounding vocal built on a bed of lullaby synth notes and sine waves.
