"The Sound It Made opens Two Wheels Move the Soul like the blaze is roaring to life before your eyes. Zack James' shifty drumming hammers out a drum 'n' bass redux like a panicked heartbeat while Carney Hemler's bass lurches in slow motion, replicating the gut drop of a horrible realization."
"Singer-guitarist Nina Cates pieced together the lyrics in what she calls a 'collection collage,' pulling from memories and jolts of emotion experienced during the fire."
After a fire erupted in an apartment complex, residents were forced to evacuate, and the band Robber Robber faced displacement. Their unit remained intact, but they lost their home. They sought temporary shelter with friends and eventually moved into an attic. Despite the chaos, they continued to work on their second album, Two Wheels Move the Soul, using music as a means to regain control and express their experiences. The album opens with a track that captures the intensity of the fire's impact.
