Robots Don't Sleep

About a year ago I did a post on the photo-artist Juha Arvid Helminen and his "Dark Empire" series. Then, just recently I saw a video to a song called "Little White Lies", from Robot Koch's new album "Robots don't sleep". In this video Helminen's dark figures come to life, like shadows of the unconscious...So as I did that post a year ago, I wanted to show you this too!

Robot Koch has been called "one of Europe's finest producers of the beat generation", and after touring in both the US and in Europe, and worked as a producer and composer for both indie and major artists worldwide, he is now working on his 4th full length studio album - "Robot's Don't Sleep". On this album he collaborates with John LaMonica, who lends his voice to the music.

Here is the video:
