Nanobots is the sixteenth studio album from Brooklyn-based alternative rock group They Might Be Giants. Uncharacteristically for the band, the album's title comes from an album track, as the second track shares a title with the album.[1] The album was released on March 5, 2013 on Idlewild Recordings — the band's independent imprint — with Megaforce Records in the US.[2][3] The album was also separately released on March 8 in Australia through Breakaway Records and on March 11 in Europe, through Lojinx.[4][5][6] One week before its physical release, Nanobots was released digitally for streaming in its entirety through the band's SoundCloud, announced by Rolling Stone.[7][8] Prior to this, "Call You Mom", "Black Ops" and "Lost My Mind" were released through the advance digital Nanobots EP in January 2013. The EP, released through Amazon.com and iTunes, was met with fairly positive responses.[9][10]
