“Watch For Infection” by Robber Robber

Robber Robber have shared the latest single “Watch For Infection,” the track is off their LP Two Wheels Move the Soul, available April 3rd via Fire Talk Records. Robber Robber is the Vermont band that includes Nina Cates (guitar/vocals), Zack James (percussion), Carney Hamler (bass), and Will Krulak (guitar).
“Real emotions and moments inspired the feelings of “Watch for Infection,” but the story is made up,” Cates says of the track, continuing: “Internal dialogue, ‘Watch for Infection’ as a reminder to take care of your shit and don’t let it bring you down in perpetuity. Don’t get bitter.” Accompanied alongside a visualizer, “Watch For Infection” follows Two Wheels Move the Soul lead single “The Sound It Made.”
Two Wheels Move the Soul was written and recorded throughout the winter of 2024 and 2025, a season of Cates’ life characterized by near-constant upheaval following the demolition of her and James’ longtime home. In a moment’s notice — and amidst a particularly brutal Vermont winter — Cates and James were left to fend for themselves. Luckily, the two were able to tap a deep well of support within their community, finding respite on the couches of Lily Seabird, Greg Freeman, and Thus Love’s Echo Mars. An unused attic provided their longest arrangement.
For the recording of Two Wheels Move the Soul, Robber Robber returned to Little Jamaica Studios, where they recorded Wild Guess. Cates, James, Krulak, and Hemler hunkered down with their trusted engineer Benny Yurco. The familiarity between the cast of characters allowed the studio to become a sanctuary, and foregrounded Two Wheels Move the Soul’s constant foray into sonically adventurous terrain. “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.” Still, an overwhelming sense of imminent disaster hangs over Two Wheels Move the Soul. Every scribble on the guitar thins the air, each stab of percussion and wave of distortion makes it that much harder to breathe.
