Stereolab Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements (1993) *Overrated* Lots of people call this their best, an absolute masterpiece. I can see where they're coming from, but the songwriting and production falls a little flat for me.

Cobra Group And Phases Play Voltage In The Milky Night continued the pointedly rockist streak Stereolab kicked off with 1997’s Dots & Loops— i.e., studio albums much less invested in the notion of standalone “hits” than grooving on a particular vibe throughout, each track a crucial piece of a larger artistic puzzle. Given that the Groop’s final mas...
Arguably the last burst of pure, unadulterated joy in the Groop’s canon, “Daisy Click Clack” splits the difference between up-jump, juke-joint jangle and the center-piece rollick from an unproduced Julie Andrews musical. The elaborateness of its construction belied by merriment and sheer melodic power, this spritely song is composed entirely of mus...
Titled after a 1960s Italian horror film, “The Long Hair Of Death” may be the best of the Groop’s out-music larks: five minutes of moody boulevard bass drones beset by squelched wavelength and spooky oooooooos doubling back upon themselves. It should be noted that the Switched On compilations, where stray splits, EPs, and singles were collected, ar...
For many, Dots & Loops drew a clear line in the sand of Stereolab’s discography, separating the band’s rough-hewn beginnings from its creamier, increasingly produced later period. And it’s a weird line, impossibly florid and at the same time digitally processed to an almost unnerving degree. At almost 18 minutes in length, “Refractions In The Plast...
In December 2002, Stereolab vocalist/guitarist Hansen was killed in London when a motorist struck her while she was riding her bicycle. While the tragedy left Gane and Sadier uncertain about whether Stereolab could or should continue, the Groop ultimately soldiered on, with Margerine Eclipserecorded as a tribute to Hansen. The unabashedly personal ...
A tidal wave of flavored clamor, “Jenny Ondioline” is noise-pop par excellence: the freon voices of Sadier and Hansen swelling over and dipping beneath rippling guitars and siren-ing organs, motorik pulse married to shoegaze-y din. The bonus? It’s actually twoawesome-sauce ragers in one, shifting around the eight-minute mark into a choppier, slight...
Here, the Groop goes in for a jittery jolt of electro-reggae — or something near enough to that vein — as the unbreakable fist of Sadier/Hansen gamely boil the truth of geo-political unrest down to piddling schoolyard bullshit. All zapping static, self-cannibalizing effects, and klonking bongos, “Les Yper-Sound” is so eminently re-playable that it’...
Returning to Mars Audiac Quintet after a long absence for the purposes of this article nearly broke me, because — despite being overshadowed in the canon by Emperor Tomato Ketchup — it is the most consistently satisfying of all of Stereolab’s records; taken piecemeal or in one sitting, the album’s thick, massed throbis so all-consuming that choosin...
I always think of “Cybele’s Reverie” as fairytale Stereolab, one of the Groop’s fanciful stabs at a pop Disney fable (see also Mars Audaic Quintet’s woozy “International Colouring Contest”). Everything about this song is playfully calibrated for maximum wow: the vocal lines enveloping one another like mutant kudzu, the killer wasp tickle of effects...
Guitars rule the roost on “John Cage Bubblegum,” a grimy neon blur of tiny drums, feedback, mashed chords thrashing in place as the mix perpetually teeters on the verge of swallowing itself, organs priming the pump, and lead and backing vocals ping-ponging about within the tune’s hermetically sealed pleasure chamber. This is garage punk as power-po...
1. Stereolab. Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements(1993) Jenny Ondioline. The 4-minute single version is probably their best single, and the 18-minute album version is probably their best song overall.
