Including members with no musical training alongside European music conservatoire innovators, the resulting is a groove-driven but cerebral blast, invoking the likes of Fugazi, Talking Heads and contemporaries such as Squid and Black Country, New Road. The eclectic free nature of their live shows allows them to channel-hop from moments of joy and playfulness to periods of intense fury, creating a unique sound that has earned them invitations to Montreux Jazz Festival, Latitude and as far out as the Inversia Festival in the polar north of Russia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - Flew Close (4:19)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e2 - Wellness (3:04)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 - Labyrinth (4:24)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 - Heaven (6:45)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e5 - Micro Person (4:55)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e6 - Chromo Sud (9:17)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e7 - Plant (The Succulent Blues) (4:20)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e8 - Kilmore Close (4:21)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e9 - Night (4:36)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"First Taste Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41595165704348,"sku":"FTR003","price":24.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/image001_9aabd686-8aee-4163-9d22-cfb58c8b4029.png?v=1650442056","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/robocobra-quartet-living-isnt-easy-lp","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
