Robots in Disguise sound like the exact moment a fashion show turns into a riot. Their music is built on a foundation of skeletal drum machine beats and fuzzy, aggressive basslines that feel more like punk than pop. There is a distinct 'bedroom production' quality to their early work that gives it an approachable, DIY grit, even when the hooks are undeniably catchy.
What truly sets them apart is the vocal dynamic between Sue Denim and Dee Plume. They often sing in a tight, almost robotic unison or deadpan harmony that emphasizes their witty, satirical lyrics. They tackle subjects like the absurdity of the music business and the messiness of modern romance with a sharp, British sense of humor that avoids being overly precious.
Start with 'Get Rid!' for the definitive electroclash experience. It captures the band at their most energetic and irreverent, featuring tracks that defined the mid-2000s indie-dance crossover scene. It is the perfect soundtrack for anyone who prefers their pop music with a side of distortion and a healthy dose of irony.
Robots in Disguise are an English electropunk band composed of Dee Plume (vocals and guitar), Sue Denim (vocals and bass) and a changing line-up of backing musicians. The group released four studio albums between 2000 and 2011.
