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.
