Nanobots

They Might Be Giants

Twenty-five tracks of jittery, hyper-literate power pop. A frantic mix of full-length hooks and blink-and-you-miss-it micro-songs about science and neurosis.

March 3, 2013 · Idlewild Recordings

Find on Amazon

A caffeinated burst of intellectual curiosity and modern neurosis wrapped in bright, melodic shells.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden, jarring transition into the six-second 'Hive Mind' that resets the listener's internal clock.
