Stereolab have announced Pulse of the Early Brain (Switched On, Vol. 5). The fifth volume of their long-running compilation series is out September 2 (via Warp/Duophonic UHF Disks). With today’s announcement, they’ve shared “Robot Riot,” which was written for a sculpture made by the band’s collaborator on 1995’s Music for the Amorphous Body Study Center, Charles Long. Listen below.

Pulse of the Early Brain will be available as a 3xLP vinyl collection, with a color vinyl and Mirriboard sleeve pressing available in a lottery for those who sign up for Duophonic UHF Disks’ mailing list. It will also be available on 2xCD and streaming platforms.

The previous installment of the Switched On series was 2021’s Electrically Possessed. This fall, Stereolab will tour North America. Find those dates below.
