Its entirety is an excellent blend of modern big room house, electro, and occasional hints of trap themes while maintaining a rag-timey vibe. The rest of the album is just as playful as the initial songs promised. “Lone Digger” and “Comics” do a perfect job of having fun and assuring that the fun won’t end until the last song is finished. The synth solo featured many times throughout the song is crazy it glitches and hops around and screeches all while contributing to the head banging sensation. Every time I listen to it it feels as though an invisible force is bopping my body to each beat. “Comics” features a much slower tempo that uses a swing to emphasize the beginning of each beat too well. This time, though, she blasts us with a fast paced, in-your-face style of singing that combines well with the high pitched vocal samples and blaring brass sections. It’s not uncommon to hear lead singer Zoe Colotis make her way into a track, but it’s uncommon enough to be a treat every time she is featured. “Lone Digger” does well in setting a solid stylistic direction with an explosive introduction. The initial two songs are amongst the many highlights of Robot Face. Sequels like this are the kind that any fan in any medium crave for: a satisfying, high-quality continuation that adds upon its own originality. Robot Face adds enough new to the mix to keep its audience interested while remaining in a realm where it isn’t deviant at all. Not only does Robot Face succeed in pumping even higher energy tracks into Caravan Palace’s already energized repertoire, but it also showed that it still can, and is willing to, successfully take its style in new directions while remaining comfortable. Panic confirmed to the world that this electronic gypsy band was still a force to be reckoned with, and the album, also known as Robot Face, is accelerating the hype-train to blistering speeds. Caravan Palace has been the premier electro-swing band ever since the release of its self-titled album back in 2008. The genre defining band is back and it has raised the bar to a whole new level.
