Seems like Alex Ebert might be one of the busiest guys in the biz these days. Besides his seemingly non-stop touring schedule with Edward Sharpe &
the Magnetic Zeroes, he’s prepping to release a new solo album under the appropriate moniker Alexander and, much to my surprise, he’s
also finished up a new album with one of his original music projects, Ima Robot. Now, I knew about Ima Robot, but I’d never heard anything of theirs
until just a few minutes ago and I must say, I’m very pleasantly surprised by what I heard. For some reason, I remember reading that Ima Robot was
some sort of over the top hardcore punk band, which never quite computed in my head. But “Ruthless” sort of changes all of those uninformed opinions I
had before. It’s kind of crazy hearing Ebert’s uniquely sharp voice in a nearly 7 minute electronic epic. The new Ima Robot album Another Man’s
Treasure will be released on October 19. Don’t forget to check out the insane video for the song as well. |
