The Robot EP



The Robot EP. Performed by Ants Ants Ants. CD. Approx. 11 min. Pinwheel Records. 2019. Price: $4.99.
PreS – Gr 3


This is probably the shortest (in time) album I have ever reviewed. Johnny Clay, Dave Gulick, and Nat Johnson comprise the band and wrote the 4 original songs in pop rock musical style. The band and their guest musicians give excellent performances on guitar, piano, bass, synthesizer, and percussion. The vocalists harmonize beautifully together. The four songs together tell a short story about a robot’s day. In “Robot, Robot,” the narrator is trying to wake up the robot. “Dance, Robot, Dance” explains that the robot was sleeping because the night before it danced until it ran its battery down. “The Robot Suite” tells listeners that the robot dreams about computers, circuits, cables, dancing, and more. The bridge of the song showcases the robot as a Disco King. “Robot Reprise” repeats parts of the first and second songs. The songs also include lots of robotic sound effects. This is a fun, lively, and energetic album for young robot enthusiasts.
