████ ████
████ The Robot Ate Me's new LP, Carousel Waltz, is dominated by ████
████ folky ballads that occupy a somber but hopeful emotional ████
████ space. That approach suits The Robot Ate Me better than ████
████ you'd think if you've heard the maniacally diverse They ████
████ Ate Themselves or the experimentation of On Vacation-- and ████
████ if you're a listener who chucked the first half of On ████
████ Vacation, it's almost like this record was made with you ████
████ in mind. ████
████ ████
████ The instrumentation here is almost ordinary compared to ████
████ The Robot Ate Me's previous work, with nearly every song ████
████ played with acoustic guitar and muted horns. The band is ████
████ stingy with its arrangements, bringing in the simplest ████
████ bits of melody or rhythm only at the most necessary ████
████ moments. "Where Love Goes" is a near-baroque guitar strum ████
████ that drops everything for some evocative woodwinds, ████
████ sounding as if someone snuck Sketches of Spain in with the ████
████ band's Phil Elvrum records. The same is true of "Lately", ████
████ which interrupts its sober gallop with a repeating horn ████
████ figure that adds both rhythm and a bit of swing. The songs ████
████ may not all be a barrel of fun, but many are hopeful: "Bad ████
████ Feelings" hints at redemption even as it sings "she's been ████
████ feeling pretty bad about life," and the upbeat tracks are ████
████ well-alternated between the darker meditations on love and ████
████ regret, like with..."Regret", a gentle folk song that ████
████ declares, "Regret won't change who you are/ Unless you ████
████ take its lessons too far." ████
████ ████
████ Carousel Waltz drives a pretty flat road, without the ████
████ peaks and valleys of their previous work, but that suits ████
████ the grounded emotions and realizations they're addressing, ████
████ skirting the line between the unaffected and mundane. They ████
████ teeter on the edge with lines "I never thought that love ████
████ was real until she came" or "Let's just love each other ████
████ and hold on tight," but the tight arrangements coupled ████
████ with Ryland Bouchard's creaking voice are consistently ████
████ charming. On Vacation isn't quite what The Robot Ate Me ████
████ made it out to be last year: We'd like it to be reckless ████
████ and indulgent experimentation or nothing but ████
████ brightly-colored Polaroid highlights, but we're more often ████
████ left with a lot of time to kill to just sit around and ████
████ think. Carousel Waltz is the product of just that, the ████
████ summation of thinking long and hard about where you're ████
████ headed, and it's a braver and more honest record than ████
████ anything they've done to date. ████
