After months of hard work, waiting and patience, we're releasing the second volume in our compilation series. We're incredibly proud of it, and all the bands involved. The sequencing is perfect, the songs are everything we're all about, the mastering is spectacular.
The roster on this one includes a lineup of signed and unsigned bands hailing from labels like Barsuk Records, Fat Cat, Moshi Moshi, and Kemado. We've got a new, live version of "The Commander Thinks Aloud" from the Long Winters. Copy, from Portland, OR, turns in a brand new track. London's Simian Mobile Disco give a new edit of their famous "Hustler." We've got Walter Meego, Danava, and a new fucking song from Frightened Rabbit. It's pretty ridiculous and sounds more like an album than a compilation.
Us robots scoured the world for amazing music, from the hallowed halls of our nation's capital, to the rain-soaked streets of Glasgow. We traveled as far afield as Sweden and the UK, as well as Chicago, LA, Minneapolis, and New York City. In between we found a cohesive, flowing album that defines our tastes while highlighting the diversity of music for robots.
We hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.
