"Breezy Melodies, assertive diction and scratchy acoustic guitar sounds
never ever sounded as at home with trebly beats and primitive Jean Michelle
Jarre synth sounds as they do on this hometown classic." - HOTPRESS 4/5
"…remarkable debut, which straddles Eighties synth-pop and thoroughly modern
laptop lo-fi, he displays ambition and originality in spades…this is among
the very best records of the year" - ALTERNATIVE ULSTER 8/10
"Pleasant Square is a simple pleasure that proves surprisingly
invigorating." - METRO 4/5
"Nobody else could get away with what he does. It’s a surprise that he does not get the media coverage that he deserves and that he has not yet been picked up by a record label. On the other hand 2009 may be the year when the Irish take heed of this performer and realise how talented he is" - STATE MAGAZINE 2009
"Robotnik's upbeat tunes are brilliantly bonkers and sweet, and should be investigated immediately by all persons interested in dancing around like loons. The likes of 'Weird Road' brings out a softer, quieter side which manages to be a little more introspective and bittersweet than the more upbeat stuff, but no less engaging" - BBC NORTHERN IRELAND 2009
Robotnik is Chris Morrin, a highly challenged boy from Dublin. Sometimes Chris is joined on the stage by Martin Osborne, a prolific live engineer who makes the live show really come alive. Robotnik's music is a mental adventure of pop, electronic beats and melodic musings on relationships, fantasies and twenty something-dom.
Robotnik has been extremely busy with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album 'Pleasant Sqaure' in 2008. In 2009 he has been excersising his Devo-esque performances across Europe alongside the likes of Laura Marling and Crystal Castles whilst enjoying regular airplay on MTV. He has remarkably re-written the Pat The Baker jingle and is currently DJing on the all new digital radio station RTE 2XM.
