This is the STEREOLAB week on radio TANGRA MEGA ROCK! The English-French rock band has just released its eleventh studio album Instant Holograms on Metal Film through Duophonic UHF Disks. It marked their first studio album in nearly 15 years, following Not Music (2010).
STEREOLAB has been reunited since before the 2020 pandemic, and in that time they’ve embarked on a few tours and reissued their catalog, along with releasing a couple of compilations of previously unreleased and rare material.
But after all this time, they finally make a proper return with their first new set of new music since 2008.
Instant Holograms on Metal Film is both a contemporary update of the group’s eclectic midcentury mashups as well as a familiar return to everything they’ve done so splendidly in the past, merging post-rock, exotica, krautrock, French yé-yé pop, Moog soundscapes and simply perfect, melodic indie pop. It’s everything you’d want in a STEREOLAB record.
