Pitchfork: Music for Robots to Release Compilation

Critically acclaimed music blog music.for-robots.com recently announced the May 27 release of their first venture into the compilation world, music for robots: vol. 1. The 19-track collection features new, unreleased music from several artists already familiar with MFR's audience, and a few new bands as well.

03 Mini Repertoire Deadelus remix feat. Busdriver - "Cat Whiskers"
04 Stratageme - "Mrs. Rational"
