Hand Built by Robots is the debut album by guitarist/singer/songwriter Newton Faulkner. The album charted at #3 in the UK due to the massive success of the top ten single "Dream Catch Me", and a lot of advertising. The album climbed to #1 on August 26 2007, on its fourth week in the charts. The album was soon after certified platinum. It reached #20 in the UK end of year chart, selling around 444,000 copies in the year 2007.

Four tracks on the album were co-written with former Longpigs vocalist Crispin Hunt and two were co-written by Adam Argyle, who is perhaps best-known for writing Next Best Superstar for Spice Girl Melanie C.

The album debuted on the Australian ARIA Albums Chart for the week beginning Monday, March 17, 2008 at #26. It ascended 15 places the next week to #11, and the following week ascended another 3 places to #8. It rose another 3 spots to #5 the week after.[1] It has since been certified Gold on the ARIA charts.

The album will be released in Germany on April 18 2008, in the United States and Canada on April 29 2008, with the first single being Dream Catch Me.[2]
