Fresh off New Magnetic Wonder, which Rolling Stone named one of the Top 50 Albums of 2007 and about which SPIN Magazine said, "couldn't be brighter if it had been performed on the sun. ," The Apples in stereo are now releasing a long-awaited b-sides and rarities compilation, Electronic Projects for Musicians (Simian / Yep Roc / Elephant 6). Named after a 1980 how-to manual by Craig Anderton, the album can be seen as the Apples' follow-up to the popular 1996 compilation Science Faire and completes a chapter in the artistic arc of one of indie rock's most influential bands.

Issuing an electronic project of his own to Apples fans, Schneider uploaded the individual uncompressed tracks of last year's single "Can You Feel It?" to the Yep Roc website so that anyone could create their own unique remix. The band is picking the best among them to be featured as an exclusive bonus track available for the digital release of the album.

2007 was a watershed year for The Apples having been personally selected to contribute a remix to the Yoko Ono track "No One Can See Me Like You Do" for the compilation "Yes, I'm a Witch" alongside other notables Jason Pierce, Hank Shocklee, Peaches, Cat Power, DJ Spooky, Craig Armstrong and The Flaming Lips. The band also toured Taiwan and across North America and Europe to sold out crowds.
