Let It Snow - Obey Robots

+++

+++

“Let It Snow” is the debut single by Obey Robots – a bold new project from Rat (Ned’s Atomic Dustbin) and Laura Kidd (Penfriend / She Makes War). Connected by mutual friend Miles Hunt (The Wonder Stuff), the pair pool their disparate influences to break new ground.

An unflinching, anthemic powerhouse to close out a terrible year, “Let It Snow” announces itself on a motoric Krautrock groove recalling Stereolab’s “French Disko” if rewired by Queens Of The Stone Age or “Used For Glue”-era Rival Schools. There isn’t a jingle bell in sight – just a clarion call for a collective look to the future.

As her previously busy world reduced to the size of her Bristol studio, The Launchpad, Laura started creating cut-up collages from Rat’s intense, melodic guitar parts, building new sound spaces to voice her hopes, fears and frustrations but, more importantly, to offer a hand to the uncertain.

The lyrics to “Let It Snow” issue a heady invocation to the weather gods to fast forward this worst of years by dousing the world in clean, crisp hope for brighter days, where we can hug our loved ones and gather together in dark music venues to celebrate the wonders of being alive.

Listening to this with my 15 year old daughter late last night driving home she wondered if it was inspired in any way by the movie Frozen?! Loving the album, as a huge Ned’s fan it’s great to hear that guitar and what you have done with it is fantastic. Am now a huge fan of you too Laura, so inspiring what you are doing.

Love this. Sir Mozwyn Morris, Dogger-in-Chief and President of The Taibach Bendo Bogs Preservation Society sent me here 👏

Love it. Getting a bit of Belltower vibe, a bit of Curve and having Rat on guitar makes me like it even more.

This rocks. Makes me regret selling the hi-fi separates system I had in the 90s (heads over to eBay...)

Pumping bass and great vocal melody. Really love the bass run for the verse. Killer riffage from the fella from that Grebo 90s band too ;)
