THIS WILL MAKE SENSE BY THE END

Imagine a planet populated by six-inch-tall robots whose bodies are made of single musical instruments: A robot with a keyboard in its torso, another one with a turntable for a head, maybe a coalescent drum-machine robot that forms, Voltron- or Constructicon-style, from a collection of smaller robots whose individual bodies each make a single sound, etc. Imagine that a ship from Earth crashed on their planet, and the only surviving materials were an essay about spring break and a painting of a Mexican beach.

Now imagine that these robots chose to make an album of music based on their findings. That album is called Kiwi and it is by Dim Dim. You would probably do well to seek it out.
