The mainstream’s a factory of fakes, but Replaced By Robots burn it down. Their debut EP The Experiment, self-released on January 27, 2025, is a five-track blast of defiance. Goolkasian, Heather Joy Morgan, and Adam Wade fuse glam’s shine with dream pop’s edge, crafting 11 minutes that spit in the face of our era’s sterile sound.
This is music for the freaks who’d rather fight than fade.
“All The Lonely Nights” is the EP’s soul, a jagged hymn for the lost. Its three-part harmonies and sharp guitars carve out lines like “Wir tanzen in dem Spiegel / Wir tanzen ganz allein,” raw with the sting of empty nights. Paul Q. Kolderie’s production snaps like a live wire, channeling ‘80s rebellion with a punk heart. “It’s the pulse of every night you’ve bled for connection,” the song rages, fierce and true.
“The Laboratory” erupts first, a surf-rock riot of drums and vocal howls that mocks pop’s polish. “Are We Falling in Love or Am I Just Losing My Mind?” spins a paranoid romance, Morgan’s voice slashing through Wade’s riffs. “Love’s a ghost in a machine’s cold grip,” it bites, haunting and real. “The Air of Uncertainty” drifts like smoke, while “Since You Broke My Ouija Board” closes with gothic spark, all broken spirits and noise.
The mix can muddle some hooks, but that rawness is the point—human, alive, unbowed. Replaced By Robots don’t kneel to algorithms. The Experiment is a fire for the outcasts, with “All The Lonely Nights” as its blazing call to arms.
