On Let The Robots Drive, Heartour are able to refresh 1980s synthpop with a more contemplative, introspective sort of instrumentation. A slower tempo works for Heartour here, as the backing instrumentation rises into something beautiful. The atmospheric sound of their latest effort ties together the work of Erasure and the Pet Shop Boys, creating something wholly unique for the current era. The effort has considerable replay value as Heartour has imbued each instrumental dynamic with a depth that will continue to yield dividends for listeners even five or ten plays in. Let us know what you think about Let the Robots Drive below.
