John Mitchell's LONELY ROBOT Release “Are We Copies?” Music Video
March 3, 2015, 9 years ago
Lonely Robot, the new project masterminded by producer, guitarist and vocalist John Mitchell (It Bites, Frost*, Arena), has signed to InsideOut Music and is set to release its debut album, Please Come Home, on March 10th in North America. A new music video for “Are We Copies?” can be seen below.
John Mitchell had this to say: "Just how unique are we all? 'Are we copies?' is a nagging doubt I have had lying in my subconscious in this age of synthesised society and Xerox mentality, and this video was a jolly good excuse to go bounding around Beachy Head at 6 o'clock in the morning, I hope you like it!"
Backed by the storming rhythm section of Nick Beggs on bass and Craig Blundell on drums, the album also sees guest appearances from Peter Cox (Go West), Nik Kershaw, Steve Hogarth (Marillion), Heather Findlay, Kim Seviour (Touchstone), Jem Godfrey (Frost*) as well as narration provided by British actor Lee Ingleby (Master & Commander, Harry Potter).
John Mitchell had this to say about the project: "I'd long thought about doing an album where I could have total control from start to finish with the music, lyrics, production, and choosing who I wanted to contribute - expanding from the idea of just a solo album. Musically, this album is very proggy, but more about atmosphere than technical expertise, inspired by my love of science fiction and interest in the evolution of the human race."
The tracklisting for the album is as follows:
"Airlock""God Vs. Man"
"The Boy In The Radio"
"Why Do We Stay?"
"Lonely Robot"
