Control Alt Delete is the debut album from local electronic warlord Free The Robots.  Consisting of one Chris Alfaro, Free the Robots is the humanized sound of machinery - spontaneously freezing and spazzing out on you in a moment’s notice.  Alpha Pup Records dropped a series of promo videos edited by Phil Nisco that highlight both the jittery nature of the music as well as the psychedelic haze that fogs the whole shine.

Promo Clip #1 is set to Orion’s Belt Buckle, my favorite joint and a staple during my Low End Theory sets.  Orion’s is a fuzzed out piece that warbles along and hits all sorts of unpredictable twists and turns before a twisted arpeggio takes over.

Promo Clip #2 features a woman-eating piano from hell set against Jupiter, an ominously mellow track that sounds like it was written by a possessed electric player piano.

Promo Clip #3 continues the deranged woman-eating piano theme but is set against one of the album’s many surprises, The Eye, a full on freak-out featuring organ shreds from Ikey Owens of the Mars Volta.

As if Free the Robots and first rate videos were not enough, the duo of Alfaro and Nisco also run The Crosby in Santa Ana.  An amazing venue that hosts local talent and serves some of the best food in Southern California.
