Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice’s new EP, We Are All Bots, gets theatrical and unpredictable with digital obsession, cosmic curiosity, and the bittersweet ache of eternity. Released on June 11, 2025, this 10-minute, three-track concept project plunges into what it means to be human in this increasingly dystopian world. If you’re into electro-rock with the grandeur of space opera and a taste for operatic flair, this one’s a trip worth taking.
The title track “We Are All Bots” is a punchy opener, fusing slick electronic textures with a thumping rock core. The song captures the rush of screen addiction through sound and lyrics. “I need my phone to live,” Pizzo sings with an exasperated and resigned voice, layering emotion over warm guitar and hypnotic synths. The chorus is catchy yet unsettling, repeating, “We are all bots / And it doesn’t matter if we are real or not,” like a prophecy delivered from the glow of a cracked screen. As the verses intensify, so does the desperation. Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice’s angst evokes modern dissonance between connection and emptiness.
“To The Space and Beyond” takes things up literally. This six-minute, shape-shifting soundscape opens with sweeping cinematic strings and robotic pulses before vocal operatics soar cosmically. The unpredictable composition transitions from haunting soprano vocals to ambient glimmers, sci-fi narration, and even a sudden relapse of booming drums.
Finally, “Eternità” slows everything down. A solemn piano meets rich, echoing operatic vocals, giving the track a classical weight. This is where Andrea Pizzo and The Purple Mice leans into the mythic, pondering immortality with dramatic intensity.
Altogether, We Are All Bots holds up to our hyper-digital age with the emotional intensity we should react to it.
