Forged deep in a Coloradoan canyon and precision-programmed off the wild west coast of Scotland on the isle of Eigg, A.R. Pinewood is the heartbroken cyber-cowboy you’ve been dreaming of. Fully loaded with a baseline encyclopaedia of American musical influences from Abner Jay to Woody Guthrie and Buckweat Zydeco, built with a harmonica for an oesophagus, a pitch-perfect auto-tuned voice, double-denim as standard and a strangely human heart, this machine writes classics, every time. Think Gram Parsons meets Sparky’s Magic Piano. Think the missing link between Hank Williams and Cher.

Write Home About
The first release of its kind to be entirely composed by A.I. technology, No Life is A.R Pinewood’s sensational debut album – 10 expertly engineered slices of country-pop perfection guaranteed to put a smile on your face, a tear in your eye and a spur in your heel, set for release on Friday 3rd July, 2020 on 12” vinyl and via digital services. The album is preceded by the single ‘Faux Misery’ – an uncomfortably funky fake-sad banger featuring lyrics processed from real-life Facebook posts.
From the emotional pangs of ‘I’m Okay’ to the guitar twangs of ‘Hyperbolic’, No Life is an album you’ll treasure for a lifetime. Loneliness, true love, social media unease, paranormal activity and small business decay are all processed via the Pinewood prism, lassoed and bound-up in unforgettable golden melodies. Yet another classic release from Lost Map Records. Batteries not included.
