Album Converts Newnoise.net


From Newnoise.net:

p.s. who wants to be the one to email them and let them know the band is from L.A.?


IMA Robot – IMA Robot
"By rights, New York upstarts IMA Robot personify everything I hate about the music industry. All wanky mullets and stripey suit jackets with Lovejoy jeans and Clarks shoes, but listening to their eponymous album, you can't help but, well, kind of fall in love with them. Hitting you in square in the balls, IMA come at you like a camp Buzzcocks harrassing Supergrass on the last bus home for 20p. Only camper. Opener 'Dynamite' sets the tone, with its electro underbelly nuzzling the cheeks of indie pop-punk vocals. Listening to Alex Ebert, you wonder at how blatant the Pete Shelley influence has been on the band, but the songs are so frigging catchy that it just. doesn't. matter. 'Song No.1", 'Alive' and 'A Is For Action' (a great preamble through the RAWK! alphabet) all shine brightly, and while the 12 tracks do start to merge in to one another toward the latter quarter, you can't help but smile and noodle along in a wanky, jazz bar kind of way. That, for me, is alarming enough, as I would have sooner spit on a CD like this three months ago, rather than embracing it and spitting in my handkerchief to rub that little bit of dirt from its rosy cheeks." Simon Hawkins
