Stereolab Share Previously Unreleased “Robot Riot” From Latest Switched On Compilation

David Cowlard

Since Stereolab reunited in 2019, the band has mostly been concerned with live performances and archival releases. Last year, they put out the fourth volume of their Switched On rarities compilation series that dates back to the ’90s. Today, they’ve announced another edition called Pulse Of The Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5]. They have also shared a previously unreleased track called “Robot Riot,” which was originally written for a Charles Long sculpture. Stereolab previously collaborated with Long for 1995’s Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center. Check it out below.
