About Old Robes
Electronic looping trio drawing a bridge between Steve Reich and Junip.
Experimental Noise Pop
“Occasionally a group of like-minded individuals will wreak havoc creating new musical landscapes, creating space where there’s no space left to take. The Brooklyn, NY based Old Robes just might be one of those groups.” - Ghettoblaster Magazine
“…the act came to resemble not so much a band but an avant garde collaboration where any curiosity could be followed and developed…distinct energies collected and combined, then offered toward some higher purpose.” - Various Small Flames
We are committed to making music in the “wrong way” and from sources of irrational inspiration (like dreams about translucent stained-glass spiders).
Old Robes is an electronic looping trio founded in 2012 in Brooklyn, NY by Daniel Munkus, Heather Sommerlad, and Rachel Epp. The name "Old Robes" is taken (with permission) from a song written by California's virtuoso post/prog-rock band From Monument to Masses (now disbanded). Old Robes takes that mantle seriously in their attempt to not only honor the impact of FMTM on their own music, but to connect it meaningfully with other band influences. As such, their music combines the structural sensibilities and energetic sounds of 20th-century minimalist composers like Steve Reich with the electronic song-scapes of more experimental bands like Radiohead and Junip.
