90After Robots exudes an energy and a lack of self-consciousness that is exciting and refreshing.
-
That killer instrumental prowess, coupled with Lindani Buthelezi's whispered baritone and dancing falsetto--delivered in both Zulu and English--makes for too much talent, too many ideas, and a constantly roiling pool of influences. Basically, everything fans would want to root for in a young band.
-
Unfortunately, there's nothing to the band besides the concept. Far from ramshackle, exploratory fun, the songs are paint-by-numbers melodramatic nonsense with a few interesting genre gestures.
