Music

Robeat Boys plays out across three eras. The first is pre-war excess, talkbox and arcade neon, decay dressed up as a party. The second, "New Beginning Or The End" and "Holding Hands," is the machines arriving, uneasy and then unexpectedly tender. The third drops humans out entirely: two robots, a love story, told straight, no irony.
