Fab Four Suture

And somehow it's fitting for a group that has released so much music in so many different forms-7" singles, CD EPs, mini-albums, box sets-that such a cohesive, involving, pleasurable-as-an-album album would actually consist mostly of songs that were previously released...in some form anyway. Fab Four Suture is technically referred to by the band as a "compilation", because all of its songs are also available on singles: three 7" singles that were released in 2005, and three that come out the same day as the album itself. Stereolab, who still does a tour-only single for nearly every tour they embark on, has a discography filled with releases that are hard to classify (is it a compilation, an LP, or something else?). That ambiguity enhances the magic that exists around each release. That magic can be found in their music as well. On Fab Four Suture it’s easy to find." - Pop Matters
