Start with a heavy dose of modulating psychedelic grooves. Toss in a sea of gadgets and pedals. Add a dash of Floyd-like theatrics, and your end result is none other than Animatronics. This young quartet has been shaking the LA underground art-rock scene for only a short time, and are already developing the reputation of putting on energetic, blistering live performances, by summoning a palette of obscure influences, often times with improvised visuals and live painters. Armed with their self-produced debut, Art Official, these cats are willing and able to deliver a sonic-induced hallucinatory mind state.
