ROBOHANDS レコード& CD

Review: Andy Baxter is Robohands and he was back with a third album that followed up the success of his first, Green, and second, Dusk back in late 2022. This one marked a debut on KingUnderground and was a superb showcase of the composer's instrumental and production skills which soon sold out. Now it gets reissued on lovely limited translucent orange vinyl. Once more the artists combines ambient, jungle and hip-hop sensibilities into a relaxing and signature jazz sound that will leave you feeling blissed out and ready for whatever the world can throw at you.

Review: A stellar piece of ambient jazz finally getting the vinyl treatment. 'Green' was Robohands (aka Andy Baxter) debut LP that combines ambient, jungle and hip-hop sensibilities into a relaxing jazz package that rightfully earned its popularity on YouTube. Described as a future classic, 'Green' is an effortless and high quality piece of jazz coming direct from the underground with zero promotion - the talent speaks for itself. 'Lost' is an immediate favourite, a lowkey drum breakbeat over soulfull piano lends itself to a near tropical vibe. 'Dream' is a cozy banger, reminiscent of the instrumentation from Solange in her more recent works, while 'Ascend' feels like an extract from a Studio Ghibli movie - Baxter's concept of setting and atmosphere are perfect. Fans of lo-fi hip-hop and ambient as a genre need to know the name Robohands.
