The Robot Ate Me has been the project of Ryland Bouchard since 2002 which has gone through many distinct phases incorporating aspects of folk, jazz, psychedelia, electronica, and avant-garde rock. He has been labeled by Daytrotter as “One of the most creative and potentially scary minds of our generation” and by Spin Magazine as “purely artistic, baffling, and almost completely uncommercial”.
In 2002 he released, They Ate Themselves, his first record as The Robot Ate Me and played his first shows in San Diego opening for notable touring acts such as Daniel Johnson, Tegan and Sara, Metric, Stars and The Blackheart Procession. Skyscraper Magazine described his first release as “Quite possibly the year’s most arresting experimental pop record, They Ate Themselves is a dizzyingly vibrant trip through death and multi-layered dissonance.”
The controversial and highly experimental “On Vacation” was released in 2004 in which Adam Gnade declared “It’s not even music outside the margins. Here the margins were never there, and if they were to encroach, The Robot Ate Me would probably up and croak. ” Punk Planet followed suit describing the album as “A hypnotic two-disc record that will score your twisted nightmares and fanciful dreams.”[8] Splendid summarized “It is impossible to understand a Robot Ate Me album from a written description.”

Well irregardless it is him so that is good. I am hoping only for a stylistic shift reminiscent of The Robot Ate Me, you know, a little more experimentation etc.

Rylandbouchard.com says a new release is pending "Spring/Summer 2011" and although it no longer does, the "The Robot Ate Me" MySpace for a while a couple months ago said "New Release coming soon". Does that mean a new The Robot Ate Me release?!?!

His solo material as "Ryland Bouchard" is just as good. Maybe better? Depends on which day you ask me.
