Most humans think of Les Robots as emotionless mechanical music machines. And that's how they largely see themselves, but when our mechanical friends discovered the great beats of the 60’s they - by lack of a better word - 'felt' something.
They started collecting the records which tickled their electronics and decided to give their interpretation of their favourite sounds ever produced by human beings. Most of those favourites are instrumental acts like The Ventures, The Shadows, Terri Terauchi, Joe Meek, Man or Astroman?, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Tom Dissevelt, Raymond Scott, Link Wray and The Astronauts just to name a few.
But now for the first time ever you will hear Les Robots SING!!! In their own way of course. They picked 12 of their favourite vocal songs from Planet Earth and gave it 'the mechanical treatment'. From the well-known sounds of The Fab Four and The Hollies to the more obscure beats of The Boys Blue and The Zakary Thaks, it’s all there.
Open your hearts and minds and let these rusty space basterds give you a taste of your own medicine!

The Delstroyers are one of the most awesome surf bands on the planet. I've heard them preview some of these songs live, and they blew my socks off! The single "Bomb Bomb" is incredible! Can't wait to hear the complete new album. Robbie Reverb
