The Robot Heart

"A very special band"

Guy Garvey 6 Music

"...Stunning, melancholic and uplifting. A very special piece of work...."

Outline Magazine

"This Brighton outfit’s leader, Tom Marsh, has been through the emotional and pharmacological wringer, but his experiences have produced lovely electro-acoustic pop. 'A very special band,' says Elbow’s Guy Garvey, correctly."

The Word Magazine

"Beautifully constructed songs they might be, but this is a real labour of love 4/5 .. "

The Fly

"A gentle and slow building melodic masterpiece........"

Artrocker Magazine

"There's darkness and melancholy here, but beautifully wrapped in sweet harmonies, delicate acoustics and uplifting atmospherics. The 'Icelandic Beach Boys' description fits them well."

Top Ten Bands To Watch Out For In 2011 - Neon Filler

‘Dust’ Number 98 in the Itunes Alternative Album Chart

".....sadly personal and heartfelt collection of songs, mostly of loss, yet all shot through with rays of hope. The sound of dark clouds (slowly) lifting....You get the sense this is a band making music for its own sake, creating something special, not for the fame, fortune or notoriety of promotional treadmills, but for the sake of self-expression. Such is the cathartic nature of the songs...."

SUBBA CULTCHA

"Lost In Stereo’ is awash with beautiful boy/girl harmonies, softly spoken acoustic guitars and wistful piano lines…Singing To The Ghost’ leaves the band at their most fragile and endearing, with singers Astra Forward and Tom Marsh engrossing your lovelorn synapses with their soothing harmonies; a beautiful way to lead out such a trinket of music. these songs have the level of quality coursing through them which is hard to ignore. With every listen, there’s a girl or boy around the corner just waiting to make this mini album more and more resonant."

4/5 for 'Dust' on Sound Of Violence

"There’s an intimacy to the lo-fi, acoustic feel that draws you in before delivering a less comfortable darkness. We embark on a strange yet pleasing encounter and hear some of life’s more painful experiences articulated with a unique grace and atmosphere…This is no normal release from the alt/folk world"

buzzine.com

"This is sweeping, swooning, gradually unfurling pop, (with hints of elliot smith and The Polyphonic spree pepping it up along the way…) Beautifully recorded arranged, and produced, this is one we’re going to be taking home with us."

The Source Magazine July 2010

"An acoustic act with bags of talent…The Robot heart effortlessly create a personal space to allow the listener to pause for reflection"

Source Magazine live review August 2010

"The stage is decorated with strings of white lights which add to the beautiful dreamy atmosphere created by The Robot Heart’s electro-acoustic harmonies. Their songs tell stories of ghosts and robots and are each dreamy and hypnotising, the voices of Tom Marsh and Astra Forward harmonise in such a lovely way. Soon to be new single ‘Lost in Stereo’ and equally as beautiful ‘Raining Stones’ with their sounds like a darker XX they clearly push the band into the one-to-watch space……….."
