The Robot Ate Me

Ryland Bouchard masterminded the idiosyncratic, experimental indie pop task the Automatic robot Ate Me personally in 2002. His initial record, They Ate Themselves, that was comprised of the type of drifting, spacy indie pop that nodded to rings like Sparklehorse as well as the Flaming Lip area, premiered on Swim Gradually that calendar year. The album produced ripples within the indie picture, and the next year discovered Bouchard on tour supported by David Greenberg, Are-Jay Hoffman, and William Haworth. The Automatic robot Ate Me’s sophomore record, 2004’s ON HOLIDAY, ended up being Bouchard’s final discharge on Swim Gradually; the record was re-released the next calendar year on 5 Rue Christine the next calendar year. 2005 also heralded the discharge of Bouchard’s third studio room recording, Carousel Waltz, that was arguably among Bouchard’s most pop-oriented produces to date, giving up delectably restrained indie pop songs like “Poor Emotions.” Bouchard’s 4th album, Good Globe, came out the next year; it discovered the artist time for the manic, experimental audio that characterized his pre-Carousel functions.
