The Robot Ate Me was the project of Ryland Bouchard between 2002 and 2007 which went through many distinct phases which incorporated aspects of folk, jazz, psychedelia 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 Skyscraper 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.”
