Robot World

Released

Following a first-time American release on Matador with their 1992 EP The Aim, Bailter Space landed with a blast in US underground circles thanks to their third album Robot World. Unusually but understandably, the trio’s combination of serenely, hazily sung vocals and big guitar drive led them to be considered shoegaze by some, but it’s far more accurate to say that their particular aesthetic had reached a new level of precisely controlled rhythm and power. It’s evident on songs like “Morning” and “Ore” while “Get Lost” and “Be On Time” cut fiercely.
