In 1942, The US Pentecostal Church Development Department made a robot preacher to replace human preachers who were abroad in the war. All was going well until it’s program was bought out by a pharmaceutical company through regular software updates. They started to add sales pitches to it’s speech program.
After the war, the human preachers returned and the ‘Litronix’ program was closed down In late 1945. The ‘Litronix’ was driven out to the Nevada desert and buried in an unknown location.Fast forward 80 years, whilst digging the new foundations of a hotel, the ‘Litronix’ was discovered still awake and fully functioning. On it’s awakening, the ‘Litronix’ started to walk in the direction of Los Angeles.Over the past few years, living in LA, it’s religious and pharmaceutical programs have evolved into a more spiritual and holistic approach. It’s external hard drive has downloaded more than 4500 documents on the subject of hypnosis. Government agencies and many new American business oligarchs have approached the ‘Litronix’ with job offers. The ‘Litronix’ refused.The ‘Litronix’ model also started to record jingles and songs on it’s internal recording system.This album ‘One a Day Keeps The Doctor Away’ is an edited version of the 200 hours of recorded material.LA’s Litronix announces his debut album ‘One a Day Keeps The Doctor Away’, set for release on 25th April by Invada Records. Ahead of release, Litronix will support BEAK across the US, following his hugely successful tour with them across the UK and Europe at the end of 2024, winning over audiences at every turn with his unique one-man live show.Idiosyncratic to the core, ‘One a Day Keeps The Doctor Away’ heralds the arrival of an indisputably singular artist who evokes memories of the artistic freedom and creativity of the 80’s ; euphoric, whirring synths bring to mind Trans-Europe Express Kraftwerk alongside the harmonics of NEU! With the irresistible melodies of DEVO!The album is a beacon of positivity, it’s transcendental warmth and humanity is skillfully juxtaposed, to irresistible effect, with the Litronix ‘man or machine’ persona.
