Here at Motor Sounds Towers we’re currently in the grip of a wave of extreme and possibly terminal apathy, I blame the weather, Pete said something about space waves and added another layer to his tin foil hat.  Whatever it is we’re determined to plow through and bring you the best of GaragePunkBluesRocknRollLo-FiTrash.

We’re delighted to announce our uber talented label stalwarts and Detroiters? Detroitians? Detroitonians? of Detroit, Rock n Roll Monkey & The Robots, have released their third full length album and we have it here for your listening pleasure.  Titled “Do What The Bee Does” it is 11 slices of exotically catchy Garage Pop songs.  This album sees’ The Robots playing Hammond Organs and Sitars, Melodicas and Flutes and scatter them across the Guitar’d landscape which really should, if there was any justice, see “RnRM&TR” thrust into a different orbit than the one of underground heros which they currently inhabit ( I don’t think I should use ‘orbit’ and ‘underground’ in the same sentence, but fuck it I just did and I don’t care, see how this album can make you free?). 

Its my 4th listen to this one my favorite tracks are “The Man On The Phone” and the title track “Do What The Bee Does” but I fully expect that to change over time as with all of “RnRM&TR” albums they give you an experience beyond the immediate sexy come-on of the tunesmith, that Craig Campbell obviously is, and have more elements to the whole construction of the piece. Elements which delight the ear the more you listen, basically what I’m trying to say is live with this kids, the more you play it the more you’ll like, I actually have a little tingle as I’m typing, the album is on and “sneek-thiefing” in through my ears and tickling my brain.

This record is an example of masters at work, cats at the top of their game, no-one in the world is better at being “Rock n Roll Monkey & The Robots” than “Rock n Roll Monkey & The Robots”, ‘thats a dumb assed thing to say” you might think but no, not if “Rock n Roll Monkey & The Robots” is a thing of glittering beauty and character then these guys and lady are the only people who together can do this thing that they do, and that thing is very worthy of your lovesick gaze. 

You need to own this album, it is the best thing this Monkey & Robots have done and I’ve loved every note of their previous two releases both of which have pride of place on my Hi-Fi and iPod, you can say you were there at the beginning, you can tell your friends when this album rises to the heights that it deserves to be at that your a little bit bored of it now but really your secretly raging that these people have found one of your musical Eden’s and taken it from you, you thought it was hidden, out of sight and safe from the plebs.  Your angry your no longer one of the chosen few and all you have the knowledge that you got it first.  “I got this waaaay before any of you fuckers” you can scream as the ghost of Elvis pets your brow and takes the CD from your clawed grip and presents it to the unworthy, thirsty and heaving masses.  

“I got it first, I got it first” you say as your purchase on the plastic loosens. 

“They’re not worthy Elvis” you plead 

“Its ok” Elvis says “this is why we’re here, this way it will live for ever…..like me”
