And another one for #AlternateFridayMusic by MarkIngs
The word for Aug 15 is "Quiet"
Obey Robots - Not the Quiet Type
#ObeyRobots is @penfriendrocks and Rat from Ned's Atomic Dustbin and the whole album *bangs*.

(Ooh - In two weeks I can share another one from this band when the word is #Robot!)
Just finished #listening to One in a Thousand by Obey Robots;

Fuzz pop isn't the kind of thing I routinely listen to, but this was quirky and fun, and artfully produced.
#HatTip to @booleanvalue who told me about it.
10 track album
In which I ramble on the subject of the music industry and independent music promotion…

By way of a BBC article and the biggest music industry earners last year. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to hashtag Taylor Swift, though I do discuss her.
Got my #ObeyRobots album!
Only heard about them on Mastodon at the weekend via https://mastodon.sdf.org/@syneryder/109994696418620932. But I like their style.
Also bought the lead singer's solo album. Signed because it gave an independent artist an extra £5, and I hope it makes her feel good and cool that people want the signed version.
@[email protected] You might want to look at what Obey Robots is doing. Indie band on their own self-run label, self recorded, selling CDs & vinyl & downloads from home on their own website, just made the UK Top 20 and was the #1 UK Album Downloads, knocking off Pink's just released album and beating the new Gorillaz album in launch week: https://youtu.be/l71w6rHs5tk It's totally possible, but requires building a very personal relationship with fans.
This is hilarious and rather heartwarmingly wonderful - Laura Kidd (aka Penfriend fka She Makes War) and Rat (of Ned's Atomic Dustbin) videoed their reactions to receiving news of their Obey Robots collaboration's end of week chart positions.
CW: quite a lot of shocked swearing

I love the new album by #ObeyRobots but this review is bloody hilarious. How on earth can you be so beautifully eloquent while running like that is, well, astounding. #JimmyWatkins, I salute you!

#NowPlaying #ObeyRobots One in a Thousand, the new album from #Penfriend and Rat (#NedsAtomicDustbin) just dropped. And it is *tasty*. Pretty much everything #Penfriend (aka #LauraKidd) does is worth the price of admission, but this is a treat.
Preserve & increase beauty...
