Editorial Reviews

It's clear that Sushirobo admire pop with a difference. On Drawings and Garbage Structures, you can hear touches of Beck and the Beatles--innovators who expanded conventional forms. And Sushirobo heavily draw on the sounds of late '70s and early '80s British post-punk bands, groups that liked to push and pull at pop's parameters. The Seattle-based quartet's punk/funk grooves and tense, twisted lines recall those older outfits' ability to combine distress and catchiness. (There's even a cover of the Passions' 1981 hit, "German Film Star.") The CD sounds like it was made with a mix of live instruments and electronics, but the jewel box of Drawings and Garbage Structures proudly proclaims, "No Synthesizers." The band gets an impressive variety of timbres out of their electric guitars: the instruments' roles include riff machine, special-effects device, and texture maker. But Sushirobo's expanded guitar technique always functions within the context of the group's hook-laden songs. Like their mentors, Sushirobo want to bend pop's boundaries, not abandon them. --Fred Cisterna
Product Description
Inspired by the art punk bands of the late '70s as well as modern electronic and hip hop sensibilities, Sushirobo's first full-length takes listeners on a headphone joy ride shimmering with well-crafted songs that pack plenty of sonic surprises.

Product Description
Inspired by the art punk bands of the late '70s as well as modern electronic and hip hop sensibilities, Sushirobo's first full-length takes listeners on a headphone joy ride shimmering with well-crafted songs that pack plenty of sonic surprises.
Sushirobo's debut EP hinted at the band's penchant for adventurous sounds. On this follow-up, Sushirobo delivers. Assembling the songs by adding and removing layers of effects-drenched sounds and drum/bass grooves, Sushirobo creates an almost cartoonish sound that's full of imagination. After several listens, it's still hard to believe those otherwordly sounds are actually coming from guitars.
