Disorganization Will Save Us All EP, Raised By Robots' second record and first EP, will be available in early 2009. Please listen to preview tracks in the music player above and read the description below, so you will have an idea what this record may or may not mean to you:

It is a difficult thing to admit one's own inadequacy. We have spent an entire youth eschewing the thought that our dreams are less than inevitable. We are supposed to be great; supposed to be successful; supposed to be winners. Yet, we must grow from our mistakes. It is within this confounding landscape that we nurture (read: shatter) our frail egos. Suddenly, we find ourselves compromised, inadequate, and insecure beyond recognition. It is the sound of those struggling with previously simple concepts - adulthood (mediocrity), sobriety (drunkenness), love (compromise), freedom (security), ambition (obsession), identity (obscurity) now made gray and angry with each waning hour - that we hear in this music.

These "Robots" admit their place; that they are exactly where they are supposed to be; where they were always going to be, despite erstwhile tales of grandiosity. They embrace it with the hope that the harder they squeeze, the more the juices of potential will trickle until they flood the beaker at which they are aimed, bunsen burner ablaze just inches below. Yet, the voice in their music, whether it be a guitar, a bass, a drum, an organ, or a human voice drenched in the dust of empty hallways, urgently whispers that there is no such thing as,"...supposed to be..."

That phrase is a figment of this generation's predecessors and those before them, and it will become our figment, should we let it.
