Our Take

In their latest offering, "Wellness," ROBOCOBRA QUARTET have concocted a musical potion that is equal parts avant-garde jazz, spoken word poetry, and downright sonic madness. This Belfast-based quartet has always danced to the beat of their own drum machine, and "Wellness" is no exception.

Lead vocalist and saxophonist Chris Ryan is a force to be reckoned with, delivering intense, often stream-of-consciousness lyrics that touch on everything from the mundane to the existential. His growling baritone is the perfect juxtaposition to the band's cacophonous soundscapes, which range from delicate piano melodies to chaotic bursts of brass and percussion.

The album's opener, "Intro," sets the tone perfectly, with eerie synths and stuttering drums building tension before exploding into a cacophony of sound. Tracks like "Day/After/Next" and "Cult Party" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a truly unique listening experience.

"Witness" sees the band at their most experimental, with dissonant saxophone lines and pounding drums creating a sense of unease that is both thrilling and unnerving. Yet, it's on the closing track, "Welcome/Yawn," that ROBOCOBRA QUARTET truly shine, with a haunting piano melody and whispered vocals that leave the listener both unsettled and yearning for more.

Overall, "Wellness" is a testament to ROBOCOBRA QUARTET's fearlessness and creativity, cementing their status as one of the most exciting and innovative bands in the contemporary music scene. Strap yourself in and prepare for a wild ride.

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.
