Robin Richards – Epoxy

Robin Richards, the principal composer behind Dutch Uncles, has emerged from his band’s hiatus with “Epoxy”, the lead single from his debut solo album “Taproots” due September 19th via PRAH Recordings.

“Epoxy represents my struggles with a dwindling attention span — an issue I’m sure many people can relate to in 2025,” Richards explains. The track’s title references epoxy resin, nodding to what he calls the “gluey nature of the synth sounds” and the album’s themes of growth and adaptation.

Musically, “Epoxy” blends UK garage-inspired beats with synthesizers and bass work, creating a sonic landscape that feels both familiar and alien. The production, handled by Brendan Williams (Wu Lyf, Dutch Uncles), supports Richards’ vision of cramming enough development into 75 seconds to keep listeners engaged without overwhelming their supposedly shortened attention spans.

The accompanying choreography by ekleido features intricate arm movements performed at double speed then slowed down in editing to create what they call “a smooth, otherworldly effect” – essentially the visual equivalent of Richards’ musical approach to time compression.
