Editorial review
Working within the parameters of the traditional four-piece rock outfit, Seattle's Sushirobo creates warm, analog quirk pop. The Light-Fingered Feeling of Sushirobo sounds more 1978 than 2003, with wobbly melodies, strange guitars, and simple, driving Neu! beats. Think Devo, think Wire, think Pere Ubu. Tracks like "Last Call" have a candy-colored, retro-futuristic sheen matched with a propulsive electricity. Even odder is the fact that these robotic funk tunes (like "New Laboratory Assistant," which would fit nicely in a vintage Godzilla flick) were built almost entirely from experimentation and improvisation sessions without any electronics. Over the course of the entire album, the sound can become a little homogeneous, and songs like "Community Theater" are more than a little monotonous, but overall, The Light-Fingered Feeling of Sushirobo is a unique and inventive album that sounds unlike most music being made today. ~ Charles Spano, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
If you like your electronic music grounded in something human and organic, this is the release for you.
Inspired by the art-punk bands of the late '70s/early '80s as well as more modern electronic experimentation, Seattle's Sushirobo creates retro futuristic, jet-fueled music for analog robots.
The band's sophomore full-length, The Light-Fingered Feeling of Sushirobo, takes listeners on a headphone joy ride shimmering with pixilated, beeping, sweeping and soaring stabs of sound the likes of which you've never heard come from a guitar (although that's exactly where they're coming from).
Working within the format of a traditional four-piece rock outfit, these Seattleites concoct otherworldly ditties glazed with the candy sheen of psychedelic post-punk pioneers Pere Ubu and Wire coupled with the juicy hooks of early-era Brainiac and modern-day heroes The Dismemberment Plan and Enon.
But despite all the experimentation, this band never loses sight of the song.
