█░█▒ Electronic-Indie-Pop goodness Enjoy! Pop at 1:24 on ▒█░█
█░█▒ track 2 is like that on cd and on myspace. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ -------- ▒█░█
█░█▒ We at Happy Robots Records are pleased to announce ▒█░█
█░█▒ the release of our first full length album. ▒█░█
█░█▒ Ours is a label that seeks to highlight the best in ▒█░█
█░█▒ melodic, optimistic, electronic forward-looking ▒█░█
█░█▒ *pop* music. To do just that we have put together ▒█░█
█░█▒ what will be the first in a series of download ▒█░█
█░█▒ compilations, Botpop vol.1. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Filled with exclusive tracks and rarities, it's an ▒█░█
█░█▒ album that has brought together artists from around ▒█░█
█░█▒ the UK, US and Europe, in the collective endeavour ▒█░█
█░█▒ of making the world a little bit of a better place ▒█░█
█░█▒ to live in. Michael Jackson would be proud! It's a ▒█░█
█░█▒ collection to make you dance, laugh, phone a ▒█░█
█░█▒ friend, raise a glass, change a fuse, ▒█░█
█░█▒ stroke-a-beard or just grin like the Cheshire Cat. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ The album is primarily a download only album, ▒█░█
█░█▒ though there are a limited number of cds available ▒█░█
█░█▒ which are available exclusively from us Happy ▒█░█
█░█▒ Robots. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ The Bridal Shop 'Cloudkick' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/thebridalshop ▒█░█
█░█▒ The Bridal Shop are Sweden's newest pop export. On ▒█░█
█░█▒ Cloudkick: "basking in the tropical aesthetic that ▒█░█
█░█▒ has been shining on the Scandinavian nationà the ▒█░█
█░█▒ Bridal Shop's own sweetly melancholic take on ▒█░█
█░█▒ Balearic indie-pop" Pitchfork. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Katsen 'Constellation' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/katsenbeeps ▒█░█
█░█▒ If Lily Cole and Bagpuss cross-bred in the machine ▒█░█
█░█▒ from 'The Fly' and the resulting human / cat ▒█░█
█░█▒ mash-up was let lose on a Korg and a laptop, this ▒█░█
█░█▒ is the music it would make! Constellation has ▒█░█
█░█▒ already been given the big up by '20 Jazz Funk ▒█░█
█░█▒ Greats'. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Arthur and Martha 'Ultra-Alliance' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.arthurandmartha.com ▒█░█
█░█▒ Hot on the heals of their Happy Robots debut ▒█░█
█░█▒ Autovia: "Music not unlike a British spin on The ▒█░█
█░█▒ Postal Service, or Aphex Twin remixing the contents ▒█░█
█░█▒ of NME's seminal 'C86' tape. It's lovely stuff and ▒█░█
█░█▒ more than worthy of your time" NME ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mike in Mono 'Promare' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/monoinmike ▒█░█
█░█▒ Mike in Mono has been the solo project of Mike ▒█░█
█░█▒ Johnston (Plone, ZX Spectrum Orchestra, Modified ▒█░█
█░█▒ Toy Orchestra) since 1995. Promare sounds like the ▒█░█
█░█▒ theme to Jet Set Willy 2, had it been written by ▒█░█
█░█▒ Chicory Tip and Tomita! ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Compute 'A Matter of Patience' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.compute.se ▒█░█
█░█▒ Compute is Ulrika Mild, her computer, a ▒█░█
█░█▒ drum-machine, a synthesizer and a whole lot of ▒█░█
█░█▒ love. Ulrika is from Gothenburg. This song doesn't ▒█░█
█░█▒ require much patience; it is 2 minutes 25 seconds ▒█░█
█░█▒ of unbounded melodic electronic joy. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Television Keeps Us Apart 'You Know Me by ▒█░█
█░█▒ Reputation' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/televisionkeepsusapart ▒█░█
█░█▒ Swedish act who recently signed with Series Two ▒█░█
█░█▒ Records and are releasing their debut album later ▒█░█
█░█▒ this year. This cut is moody and blissful, edgy and ▒█░█
█░█▒ innocent, somewhere between early Depeche Mode and ▒█░█
█░█▒ the theme to Pigeon Street ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ DJ Downfall 'To Bring You Joy' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/johndownfall ▒█░█
█░█▒ Like Daft Punk soundtracking a Fritz Lang directed ▒█░█
█░█▒ version of The Bacchae. The Guardian recently ▒█░█
█░█▒ described DJ Downfall as "perennially underrated" ▒█░█
█░█▒ and who are we to disagree. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Monster Bobby 'Say Fuck Me' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.monsterbobby.com ▒█░█
█░█▒ Normally we at Happy Robots don't approve of ▒█░█
█░█▒ swearing, but when it's as eloquently put, as here ▒█░█
█░█▒ by Pipette svengali, Robert William Barry (aka ▒█░█
█░█▒ Monster Bobby) we're not going to complain. In fact ▒█░█
█░█▒ we'll even play it to our kids. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Jupiter 'Rollergirl' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.myspace.com/wearejupiter ▒█░█
█░█▒ From Paris France rather than the largest of our ▒█░█
█░█▒ neighbouring celestial gas giants, Jupiter make ▒█░█
█░█▒ music that make us want to sweat and, if we weren't ▒█░█
█░█▒ robots, we would! ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Hong Kong in the 60's 'Meet at Vincent Square' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.hongkonginthe60s.com ▒█░█
█░█▒ London pop band consisting of two library ▒█░█
█░█▒ assistants and an engineer; their music combines ▒█░█
█░█▒ analog synths, delicate vocals and subtle rhythms ▒█░█
█░█▒ to soundtrack punting down the Thames on a blissful ▒█░█
█░█▒ summer day, sipping from a glass of Pimms. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ Elika 'Let Down' ▒█░█
█░█▒ http://www.elikamusic.com ▒█░█
█░█▒ If Madonna ditched Timbaland in favour of Philip ▒█░█
█░█▒ Glass and My Bloody Valentine we imagine she would ▒█░█
█░█▒ come out with something akin the music made by ▒█░█
█░█▒ Brooklyn based Elika. ▒█░█
█░█▒ ▒█░█
█░█▒ The Coal Daughters 'Panzerkrieg' ▒█░█
█░█▒ Even we aren't sure who the Coal Daughters are. We ▒█░█
█░█▒ can't think of a better way to close our first comp ▒█░█
█░█▒ than this instrumental. It's tense, it's uplifting. ▒█░█
█░█▒ It's whatever you want it to be. If Ridley Scott ▒█░█
█░█▒ decides to re-cut Blade Runner in 2050, this track ▒█░█
█░█▒ will be on it. ▒█░█
