Lonely Robot – A Model Life 2022 Prog Rock
Lonely Robot, the project masterminded by vocalist, guitarist & producer John Mitchell, is pleased to announce the release of fifth studio album "A Model Life". John comments: "Making A Model Life was very much a lifeline and indeed a wake-up call at the end of a particularly personally challenging couple of years.
Creating it made me realise that ultimately, life is impermanent and the one true thing that gives me a focus and anchor is and has always been music. Long may that be the case." An album that brims with frustration at the state of things, while tugging remorselessly at the heart strings, "A Model Life" is plainly the most honest and vulnerable Lonely Robot record to date. From opener "Recalibrating", which muses on the aftermath of a broken relationship and "Digital God Machine" - a sardonic tribute to keyboard warriors everywhere - to the boys-don't-cry pathos of "Rain Kings" and the absurdly moving, adoption-themed "Duty Of Care", these new songs provide a scattershot but profoundly emotional soundtrack to a restless and uncertain world.

The album starts with 'Recalibrating' (released as the first single.) A solid rocker, it has an air of familiarity about it in that Mitchell's voice, guitar and keyboards are used in one of the songwriter's most-favored time signatures, 6/8, presented in ascending keys.
