Get it on Bandcamp or stream it everywhere.
For the past six months, The Robe has delivered batches of new music that both feel like one cohesive grouping of songs and, inversely, feel like an evolution of ideas from one month to the next. You can experience this yourself firsthand by listening to this playlist of every release from 2024 (it’s also on YouTube if you prefer).
When these songs are delivered there’s no additional insight, background information, inspiration or context about each track. Details are not divulged and, frankly, I prefer it that way. Describing my response and relationship with these songs requires me to find my own context; what do they songs mean to me rather than what did they mean to The Robe?
This isn’t a controversial way to listen to music but it is less common these days. Take some time to listen to these new tracks and ask yourself what they mean to you. Put on headphones and listen for the unique sounds that are layered together. Get your brain noodling around on them. I’ll let you in a little secret – these songs will also get your body moving too.. if you let them!
Enjoy!
