Nada Robot is the next-generation musical project of the Farmer sibling gang — brothers Addam, Heath and Austin, who were core members of Island Apollo and, prior to that, the Bolts. This time, though, the family affair expands to include Addam’s wife, Mia Farmer.

It is Mia, a veteran of many music productions (including Disneyland in Hong Kong), who takes over lead vocal duties on Nada Robot’s debut single “Got It Good,” which comes out this week. The song is an audacious rocker with a menacing beat, doused in arena-rock riffs, futuristic effects and the brothers’ shout-along background vocals. It’s old- and new-school at once, and out front, Mia’s vocals lack nothing for moxie.

Addam Farmer cites artists such as the Talking Heads, B-52’s, Daft Punk and the Beach Boys as inspirations. “The message of this track is to keep on going — life is difficult … Oftentimes, it’s a tragedy,” he says. “Do you want it? Get it. Got it? Good.”

Nada Robot has a second single planned for later this year. For now, they’ve “Got It Good.”
