Robber Robber have shared “Pieces,” the song is off the Vermont band’s forthcoming LP Two Wheels Move the Soul, available April 3 via Fire Talk Records. “This song is about trying to get the whole thing, but only managing to get pieces of it. Or thinking you have the whole thing, and seeing it get picked apart slowly or shattered in an instant,” Cates explains. “It’s about building your dream out of rusty scrapyard bits and navigating difficult terrain with no map. Every day mental gymnastics, echolocation, wading slowly through murky water.”

“Pieces” is accompanied by a music video helmed by Connor Turque. Compiling footage of Robber Robber performing on a Burlington stage commonly used by Grateful Dead cover bands, the “Pieces” music video channels “the vibe of blowing a fat cloud of weed smoke at a Pink Floyd poster and looking at trichomes through a kaleidoscope,” say Robber Robber. “Shout out Einstein’s for letting us film in their bar.”

For the recording of Two Wheels Move the Soul, the band returned to Returning to Little Jamaica Studios — one of the sites for their debut Wild Guess. Cates, James, Krulak, and Hemler hunkered down with their trusted engineer Benny Yurco. “Everywhere else that we had to be, we were very much visitors,” James recalls. “When we were working on the record, it was nice because it felt like this is our space.”
