Circus Devils When Machines Attack CD

2013 release, one of two albums released simultaneously by this band founded by Robert Pollard and completed by the Tobias brothers Todd and Tim. On When Machines Attack, the trio delivers a collection of eighteen sonic postcards from a probable future forecasting civilization's approaching doom and the opportunities to cash in. The cast of improbable characters on display includes the Controller who introduces the album, along with Johnny Dart, Bad Earthman, Doberman Wasp, the Brain of the Iron Fist, and more. A satisfyingly unsettling listen from top to bottom (or perhaps unsettlingly satisfying?), it's perfect for late-night car trips - driving alone, of course. Keep watching the skies!
