Our Take

This latest offering from ROBOCOBRA QUARTET is a sonic rollercoaster that takes you on a journey through
the highs and lows of life. Aptly titled "Living Isn't Easy," this album is a raw and emotional exploration
of the struggles and triumphs that come with simply existing.

The opening track, "Waking Up Is Hard To Do," sets the tone for the album with its haunting vocals and
moody instrumentation. Lead singer Chris Ryan's distinctive voice is both commanding and vulnerable,
drawing you in from the very first note.

As you delve deeper into the album, you'll find yourself dancing along to tracks like "Anxiety Boogie"
and "Existential Crisis Shuffle." These up-tempo numbers provide a welcome break from the heavier
themes explored in the lyrics, offering a sense of catharsis and release.

Throughout "Living Isn't Easy," ROBOCOBRA QUARTET effortlessly blends elements of jazz, punk, and
spoken word to create a sound that is uniquely their own. The band's fearless experimentation and
unapologetic vulnerability make this album a must-listen for music lovers looking for something fresh
and exciting.

In conclusion, "Living Isn't Easy" is a bold and thought-provoking album that reminds us of the complexities
of the human experience. ROBOCOBRA QUARTET have once again proven themselves to be true innovators
in the music industry, and this album is a testament to their unrivalled talent and creativity. Don't sleep
on this one.

About the artist

Robocobra Quartet

Hailing from Belfast, the enigmatic four-piece known as ROBOCOBRA QUARTET effortlessly blend jazz, poetry, punk, and avant-garde influences to create a sound that is truly all their own. Led by the charismatic frontman and spoken-word poet Chris Ryan, the band's live performances are a whirlwind of frenetic energy and musical virtuosity, leaving audiences in a state of awe and bewilderment. With a name like ROBOCOBRA QUARTET, you'd be forgiven for assuming that the band's music is as wild and unpredictable as a robotic cobra. And you'd be absolutely right. Their debut album, "Music for All Occasions," is a cacophony of saxophones, trumpets, drums, and spoken-word poetry that defies categorization and demands to be experienced. ROBOCOBRA QUARTET's lyrics are as dark and existential as they are tongue-in-cheek and absurd, exploring themes of love, loss, anxiety, and the nature of existence itself. Ryan's distinctive vocal delivery, which veers from a soothing croon to a frenzied scream in the blink of an eye, adds an extra layer of complexity to the band's already eclectic sound. In a music industry that often feels stale and formulaic, ROBOCOBRA QUARTET are a breath of fresh air. They are unabashedly weird, wonderfully eclectic, and unapologetically themselves. If you're looking for something truly original and utterly captivating, look no further than the one-of-a-kind musical stylings of ROBOCOBRA QUARTET.
