Minneapolis based Robot Slide is a family band–Brothers Matt, Jake, and Todd Olson and their good friend Liam Moore have been playing music together in different combinations for the past 15 years. Using an array of digital production tools, samplers, and acoustic instruments, Robot Slide laces the textural, world-building elements of electronic music with the sensitivity and beautiful imperfections that arise in live band performance, resulting in complex, interweaving tapestries of digital and organic sound. Since their 2022 release EXTEND, the group has focused on making more space for each other; to approach their relationships and the music with patience, vulnerability, and acceptance. They encouraged each other to simplify, to unearth the ways in which they can play as one ‘organism’, giving time for the songs to evolve and find their final forms over the span of several years. Self-recorded and produced by the band in their DIY garage studio, their sophomore LP CHIMPS evokes a dreamstate, the scenery constantly changing, shifting subtly from one unexpected moment to the next.
