Shit Robot’s new album features Hot Chip, New Jackson, Nancy Whang & Juan Maclean
Marcus Lambkin aka Shit Robot will release his third DFA Records album What Follows on May 6th this year.
Guests include Hot Chip’s Alexis Taylor, David Kitt’s New Jackson, Jay Green (of American punk bands Orchid and Panthers) along with regular collaborators Nancy Whang, Museum of Love (Pat Mahoney and Dennis McNany) & Juan Maclean.
Now based in Stuttgart, the Dubliner’s release is a fully-analogue centric album, with Lambkin saying he moved away from the computer in favour of a more tactile approach.
“This is the first time that I actually sat down and said, ‘I’m going to make an album now and I’m going to finish it by a specific date and time.’ I wanted to make a record that was more cohesive, that sounded like it all came from the one session. I wanted it to reflect my DJing style a bit more, less pop, less disco, more machines. There’s no live bass and barring a few hi-hats, there’s no live drums.
Hear ‘End Of The Trail’ featuring Alexis Taylor as broadcast by Zane Lowe on Beats.
