The Ticket / Conversations with Robots EPCatherine Dowling is the Irish indie diva who enjoys discoursing with Daleks. Their second EP features four fine, diverse tunes that echo everyone from Eddie Brickell to Liz Frazer. Tom Dunne / Pet Sounds / Conversations with Robots EPTheir debut EP was called ‘Sometimes’ and the title track was a regular feature on Pet Sounds, and one which listeners constantly requested. Their style is part-ambient electronica, part-pop, and all brilliant. By far one of the more promising acts to appear on the Irish scene recently, the new single further shows their expertise at conjuring catchy, leftfield pop. ‘Addicted’ is the first track on their new ‘Conversations With Robots’ EP, and a faster, darker track than ‘Sometimes’. The production once again is superb, using airy samples in the background to complement the nu-electro sound. Soundwaves.com / Conversations with Robots EPAlthough it's six tracks short of a damn fine album, babelfish's EP 'Conversations With Robots' (Magi) underlines why this band are so highly thought of. Addicted echoes the best elements of Garbage while the other songs seep into your subconscious with their passive beats and haunting vocals. The College View / Conversations with Robots EPConversations with robots - the follow-up to the successful 'Sometimes' – sets itself apart from its predecessor with its moodier edge and stronger electronic vibe to it, while still retaining those sweet melodies. |
