FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ROBOHANDS ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM – PALMS

FIRST SINGLE “MOMENTS” IS OUT 9/8 ON BASTARD JAZZ

‘Moments’ is the first single off the upcoming LP ‘Palms’, the 5th studio album from London based instrumentalist and producer Andy Baxter. Featuring the harp, played by Rachel Horton, ‘Moments’ is an ode to early 60s jazz sounds with synth melody top line and double bass part sitting casually behind the beat. Influences come from the music of Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane.

Biography:

‘Robohands’ is the experimental solo/collaborative project of London based composer/ instrumentalist Andy Baxter. Originally a side project to explore drumming techniques, ‘Robohands’ evolved into a more composition based endeavour with his records often featuring large arrangements and also solo instrument performances. Having recorded four studio albums to date, ‘Palms’ (2023, Bastard Jazz Recordings) is the fifth in a series of seven Robohands LPs. Having supported Grammy Award winning musician Terrence Blanchard at the Camden Jazz Cafe, his project has also headlined multiple venues in London, Brighton and Lisbon. Sonically making reference to late 1950s sounds through to late 1980s and early 1990s sounds, each album has differed in direction, with the latest album emulating saturated analog tape recordings of the late 60s and 70s, with an added subtle modern layer of glitch FX and pitch control experimentation in places. Fresh off of the relase of EP ‘Giallo’ (2022), Baxter again takes on drums, guitar, bass, keys and also mixing duties for the latest LP, which comprises of seventeen tracks, and is released in October 2023.
