Robber Robber signed to Fire Talk last fall on the strength of their 2024 debut LP, Wild Guess, and intoxicating live shows, and the Burlington-bred quartet are already onto their second album, Two Wheels Move the Soul, out April 3.
Two Wheels Move the Soul was written and recorded after vocalist/guitarist Nina Cates and drummer Zack James were tossed from their home, set for demolition. They crashed on friends’ couches — including Lily Seabird, Greg Freeman, and Thus Love’s Echo Mar — and returned to Little Jamaica Studios, where the band laid down part of Wild Guess. “Everywhere else that we had to be, we were very much visitors,” James says. “When we were working on the record, it was nice because it felt like, ‘This is our space.’” Lead single “The Sound It Made” sets the tone, anchored by Cates’ cool-headed delivery and the burning cacophony that teeters on the edge of mayhem.
