Margerine Eclipse

For nearly a decade, Stereolab have produced one of music's most acclaimed bodies of work and built one of modern pop's most zealous, forward-thinking fanbases. On their new album, "Margerine Eclipse," Stereolab refine and expand their subversive musical explorations, sculpting a hypnotic musical apparition that mixes modern beats and rhythms with a cool, swinging '60s go-go ambience. Jangle, groove, rhythm, melody, and sweet, dreamy singing combine to create a distinct, sometimes soothing, sometimes disturbing vision. As ever, the band turns its collective observations on a heady mixture of the personal, the political, and the metaphysical.
