It’s a miracle they didn’t fall apart in the middle of this video
One of the coolest things I've ever seen - @clppng.bsky.social used a bunch of tiny robots and everyday junk and trash to create the backing tracks live for a tiny desk concert. I'm seeing them in February, I wonder if the robots will be hitting the road?

So happy this is out in the world. It was a tough one to keep secret. Haha.
In February, @subpop.bsky.social came to me with an idea that I found hard to resist: @clppng.bsky.social wanted to play the Tiny Desk, like, ON the actual desk... with MIDI-controlled robots striking coffee mugs and shaking paper clips.

So, @subpop.bsky.social's reissue of #SevereExposure reminds us why #SixFingerSatellite were noise-rock legends. The LP still hits like a synthpunk panic attack — taut, weird, brilliant.
The bonus tracks? Mixed bag. But the main course? Untouchable. @spectrumculture.bsky.social
