After Ryland stopped recording under the name The Robot Ate Me, I wondered if we’d ever hear from him again. But he dropped me an email today to say that he’s not only got new material, but it’s already for sale!

MP3: Ryland Bouchard – Married to the Ground

Check out his site for a giant box set that contains four colored seven-inch records, an illustrated book, an engraved wood holding box, a tshirt, a carrying bag, a CD with the audio of all four EPs, a full-length CD of b-sides and unreleased songs, a DVD (that promises “explicit content”), a poster and apparently even more stuff.

I’ve been loving the songs he’s got streaming on his site. His new stuff reminds me a lot of Nick’s material from back in the early days of the Unicorns (especially “Married to the Ground”).
