Tzucasa’s latest drop, “Robots Bore Me,” is a rebellious blast of alt-rock, pop-punk, and lofi grit—a raw, refreshing reminder of what we’ve been missing in music.
From the start, this track takes aim at our tech-obsessed culture, especially our fascination with AI and automation. Recorded with an unapologetic, stripped-back style, “Robots Bore Me” embraces imperfections like subtle distortion and minor technical quirks that many artists would clean up in post-production. It’s a throwback to rock’s golden age, when performances were unpredictable, real, and unapologetically human.
In a world where music is often polished to perfection, Tzucasa lets the rough edges show, and it works. The track’s electric energy, propelled by emotive vocals, searing guitar riffs, and crashing drums, demands attention. You feel the emotion in every beat, and it’s a visceral reminder that rock isn’t dead—it’s just been waiting for someone to shake things up. The lyrics, “Robots bore me,” hit hard; they capture the frustration many feel in today’s endlessly repetitive, tech-driven world. Social media scrolls and “top-10” videos become one big loop of monotony, and this song tears through that boredom like a breath of fresh air.
Tzucasa’s raw vocals, screamed harmonies, and distorted guitar riffs practically make you feel like you’re standing front row at a live show. When the drums pound with unrestrained intensity, it’s as if the drummer is ready to knock the entire kit over, adding to the track’s explosive energy. It’s rock ‘n’ roll at its finest.
Then comes the lyric:
“Robots bore me / robots know how to think and can give me protein.”
It’s a perfectly cynical jab at today’s obsession with tech-driven advice and algorithm-generated content. Tzucasa’s delivery of these lines during the track’s interlude is both sarcastic and soulful, hitting the nail on the head with an authenticity that makes the song unforgettable.
Tzucasa, a Tokyo-born, London-raised artist, is making waves with a fresh sound that’s both globally inspired and grounded in punk-rock grit. Her latest single, “Robots Bore Me,” is a raw, lofi rock anthem critiquing today’s obsession with AI and automation. Drawing influence from Isaac Asimov’s short story, Satisfaction Guaranteed, Tzucasa confronts romanticized views of technology, reminding listeners that “robots are machines doing mundane tasks”—far from the human connections we crave.
Recorded at London’s iconic Roundhouse in Camden, the track is the first from her upcoming four-song EP, produced in collaboration with Rookes. This EP marks her first professional studio venture, and the single showcases a back-to-basics rock aesthetic with punk influences and fuzzy, distorted guitar tones that make her sound instantly recognizable. Tzucasa’s unique international background and vocal style set her apart, resonating with fans of bands like Soft Play, Dead Rituals, Gouge Away, and High Vis.
With abrasive guitars, gritty rhythms, and unapologetic lyrics, Tzucasa challenges our tech-driven society to re-evaluate its fascination with AI. The song’s powerful message urges us to hold onto human interactions and authentic self-expression as technology increasingly dominates our lives.
