Robbing Millions releases new EP Lonely Carnivore

On their new single 'Warder' you'll find a song that flies under the banner of 'alt-pop', but with a huge amount of 'WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST EXPERIENCE' soul. In fact, trying to describe the connections this song makes is a pointless endeavor, and completely against the mission statement of the song itself. Put simply, it's unlike anything we've heard in quite some time. Damn ! »

Welcome to the bizarro-sound world of ROBBING MILLIONS, a band unlike anything we've heard in quite some time. UK blog www.thefouroffive.com couldn’t have used a better way to describe this Brussels-based 5-piece.

Debuting in early 2013 with a self-produced EP called ‘Ages and Sun’, the bands dreamy, psychedelic songs, loaded with syncopated rhythms and breezy lo-fi synths immediately started to buzz their way through the Belgian and French alternative music scene. Robbing Millions got invited to play several prestigious festivals just months after their start-up (Les Nuits Botaniques, Les Ardentes, Dour festival, Boomtown and Deep In The Woods) and supported bands as Palma Violets, Girls in Hawaii and Babyshambles.

The band got selected by Belgian’s most famous concert venue AB (Ancienne Belgique) as one of their ‘artist in residence’ for the season 2013-2014 and played over 70 shows in in the last 12 months, including Le Printemps De Bourges and Pukkelpop.

Robbing Millions will end the year in style with the release of a brand new EP. Recorded in the summer with producer Koen Gisen (An Pierlé, Flying Horseman), ‘Lonely Carnivore’ confirms this band’s unique take on pop music. More refined and with a broader scope, ‘Lonely Carnivore’ is the sound of band digging deep to hit uncharted territory. The epic ‘Bigfoot’ is full of widescreen acoustic guitars repeating a simple ringtone-like yet beautiful melody. First single ‘Dinosaur’ is probably the most catchy off the hook Casio DG20-guitar track ever and ‘Waverly Hills’ is a full blown crazyfest with TC Matic inspired guitar riffs. And the aforementioned ‘Warder’, well let’s call that a 'WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST EXPERIENCE' soul song, or as US blog www.pigeonsandplanes.com puts it: “Like a heavier take on the Radiohead-inspired psychedelia of Alt-J, Belgian 5-piece Robbing Millions’ “Warder” is music for a trance, plodding out of silence into a stomping, stilted beat that gives way to moments of beauty and chaos in equal measure”

Beauty and chaos in equal measure ... that’s pretty close to what Robbing Millions have in store on ‘Lonely Carnivore’
