The tour announcement follows on from the recent news that the fifth instalment of the group’s ‘Switched On’ reissue campaign would be released on September 2. ‘Pulse of the Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5]’ is out via Warp Records and Duophonic UHF Disks and can be pre-ordered here.
The previous instalment of the Switched On series was 2021’s ‘Electrically Possessed’. It included rarities, outtakes and non-album tracks including ‘The First Of The Microbe Hunters’, unreleased outtakes from the ‘Mars Audiac Quintet’ and ‘Dots And Loops’ sessions, and a track called ‘Dimension M2’, which was first released in 2005 on the ‘Disko Cabine’ compilation.
Stereolab also recently released ‘Robot Riot’ from ‘Pulse of the Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5]’, which was originally written for a sculpture made by Charles Long – an artist that the band had previously collaborated with on 1995’s ‘Music For The Amorphous Body Study Center’ project.
