Robber Robber made their new album Two Wheels Move The Soul under some particularly stressful circumstances. One afternoon in 2024, vocalist Nina Cates discovered a fire had broken out in the apartment building where she and drummer/guitarist Zack James lived together in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Miraculously, Cates and James’ unit was left mostly unscathed; the pair continued living there as the rest of the building was gutted, enduring the constant rotation of construction workers, occasional trash left in common spaces, and a barrage of 7 a.m. demolition noises. “We were living in this place that we loved, but everything felt really unstable,” Cates recalls. Eventually, their landlord informed them it’d be in everybody’s best interest for them, the only residents left in this shell of a building, to move out.
