about

Jono El Grande’s Artificial Stupidity is a concept album about intelligent robots’ relationships with humans. The songs are sung by androids that seem to be more intelligent than humans, commenting today’s repetitive cultural commercialism, Western egomania and generally apathetic attitude towards love.

In the track «Artificial Stupidity I», a (kitschy) robot meditation guru questions artificial intelligence; Is there any real intelligence to make artificial copies of?

«Skunk Love Promenade» is the story of an intelligent real doll, which is disappointed with her human lover who does not give her what she really wants – true love and kindness.

«Little Thumbsucker» is a lecture to generation Z..

«Reborn Dodo» is an ancient Indian robot female, who parts with humanity as she sees them as incurable, capitalist, result-oriented sellers.
