The Girl
& the Robot
Written & Illustrated by Jory Dayne

Look, this much is certain, Robyn is a busy, busy woman. I don’t know how she does it, but she is everywhere, on every track, and she is killing it every time — and I, for one, welcome our new robotic overload.

If she isn’t teaming up with the Savage Skulls, she’s singing in the background of a Likke Li video — if she’s not recording with Royksöpp, she’s laying down tracks with Snoop Dogg. I’ve had Body Talk in all its incarnations on a near constant rotation since it came out last year (or frankly, well before) and I still haven’t tired of it.

One moment she's making punch-dancing look cool, the next she looks like she's jumped straight out of The Littles. She's impish but elegant, and ballsy as all hell.

Over at These Roving Eyes, Jason's gone so far as to mark her as this generation's Björk, and if you need confirmation, check B's own stone-faced observation during Robyn's gorgeous performance of “Hyperballad” at the 2010 Polar Music Prize.

Anyway, all of this to say that “Fembot” is the jam, y’all — and that when that Swedish android rolls up into Salt Lake, I am going to be there with bells on.

I've made myself available via email, twitter, or by phone, so feel free to drop me a line regarding just about anything. However, I'm a big fan of signal over noise, so why don't we just keep our Facebooks and our Linkedins to ourselves?

about jory dayne

My name is Jory Dayne — I was named after a campy 1971 pulp western by Milton R. Bass. I'm a graphic designer and illustrator living in a vale between a lake and some very large mountains in Utah. I like it very much.
