Visit www.hussalonia.com to download the free sequel to this album: "The Surprising Return of the Hussalonia Robot Singers."

The Second in the Hussalonia Home Fabricated Compact Disque Series brings us a rather brief, but entertaining program of songs sung (or spoken) entirely by robots. Using a combination of real and synthetic instruments and sounds, The Robot Singers speculates on the secret life and desires of robots. With some songs possessing a traditional sounding melody line, it sounds as if robots were sent back in time to write these songs. Others are modern, dissonant, electronic and percussive. Hussalonia layers the past, present and future and forces man to confront the man made.

"There is a peculiar sense of comedy and tragedy prevalent throughout this disc. Hearing these expressionless confessions does strange things to a human ear. When sincerity is uncertain, we assign irony to it. But what to do when a robot, incapable of delivering irony, tells us of his desire to be an owl and the suit of brown feathers he's constructed? Why is this simultaneously funny and heartbreaking?" Bernard Fenton, Elusive Songwriter magazine

"The robots are like children in their lack of subtle expression, their innocent longings challenged by their synthetic voices, but they express complex adult themes such as love, death and possession." George Ritter, author of Robots in Time

"Excellent production...(the songs) are complimented by well composed instrumental passages, orchestral in nature." Steve Grange, Reclusive Producer magazine

"It's comical, novel, bleak, funny, heartbreaking, sparse, expansive, dense, layered, sad, and humorous" Josh Anomaly, Abandoned Arts
