Thanks to the efforts of Asthmatic Kitty Employees Sufjan Stevens, Lowell Brams, and Michael Kaufmann, we released Habitat a few weeks ago, exclusive to our own mail-order store. Taking years to compile, the two-CD set  benefits Habitat for Humanity and includes over 29 electronic experimental tracks that explore the notion of architectural space. Although the tracks are widespread in their sound and influence, you can hear a sample track from Actuel on XLR8R right here.

And for those who prefer digital to physical, you will be happy to know that our exclusive run on the set has ended. We now relinquish partial control of its distribution to iTunes, who is selling it digitally for $9.99. You can buy it here, or if you prefer shiny, real things, you can buy the CDs from us for $10 (+S&H) here. Again, proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity.
