MUSIC: Chemical Robotics - a New Single

I'm not just a humble blog writer. I also happen to be one half of an electronic pop band.

We have a new single out to celebrate the turn of the new year. it is titled Chemical Robotics. The first track Chemical Wings (Drop Unconscious mix) is a remix of the first track off of our 2013 album AggroPastels; the remix turns it into a stomping tech-house beauty, reminiscent of Moby' remix of Pet Shop Boys's 'Miserablism' a bit. Listen here:

The b-side, Open Source Robotics (Touch Me), is a storming, acid house tinged banger that wouldn't be out of place on Daft Punk's Discovery album. The song carries on from the theme of AggroPastels track 'Brass-Knuckled Bowie' and the idea of androids becoming more and more human, craving the emotional response of humans. Listen here:

Open Source Robotics (Touch Me)

The subtitle is a tongue-in-cheek wink to the 1987 Samantha Fox trashy hit 'Touch Me (I Wanna Feel Your Body)'; nothing like a reverse parenthetical title to keep things interesting.

The cover artwork is by Australian graphic designer Grant Cook, who's had previously graced the cover of our 2009 International Velvet EP.


As with a healthy portion of the music we create, it is a FREE DOWNLOAD (did you see those ALL CAPS?) at our Bandcamp page: http://microfilm.bandcamp.com/album/chemical-robotics

We have our whole back catalog on that Bandcamp page, so feel free to explore and download/purchase, if you like.
