The band is also hard at work on an upcoming full length to be titled Late-night Soapbox . Head over to their MySpace page where the entire WANWYTWA EP is currently streaming, and though the audio leaves something to be desired, here’s a video for This City, recorded...

Under the name, Stephen Stapleton has spent the better part of the past three decades being elusive. In a sense, he’s been hiding in plain sight the whole time. He lives in rural seclusion and avoids publicity, but he’s an inveterate collaborator (most notably with Current 93 and Stereolab) and regularly releases albums -- it’s just that these albums create distinct, hermeneutic sound-worlds...

Stereolab Do What Is Expected of Them, Tour on New LP (Tiny Mix Tapes)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 16:15:00 GMT

This August, Stereolab are releasing a new LP (TMT News) that will hopefully follow in the footsteps of its nine-million brethren and make me feel like I am riding my bed very slowly through both outer space and France. Replace “my bed” with “a bus, I assume” and “outer space and France” with “the United States and Canada,” and I've just created a neat segue from my moronic approximation of...

Lykke Li, Youth Novels Album Review (Contactmusic Ltd)

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 12:51:58 GMT

Her tender vocal tones are mixed with a rather wide array of sounds, from pop to electro and 60s sounding adventures. There really are some gems amongst the pack. I'm Good I'm Gone is astounding - a perfect pop extravaganza reminiscent of The Cure at their poppy 80s best. Also waving the 'listen to me' flag is My Love - which comes over all Stereolab circa Dots and Loops.

Perhaps this is way off base but I am reminded of Stereolab at times especially on the track “Airstream”. “Math Biographies” sounds just as angelic as Antlers (songs like “Water Tupelo” and “Catalpa”) were on their debut LP earlier this year. The song continues the clever wordplay practiced throughout the EP by Dinomania. The band provide us...

The band's getting ready to hit the road -- Synch festival in Greece this weekend -- and included the track in a set they played last night.

Envelopes' music embraces and distills the idiomatic qualities of bands like The B-52's , Stereolab , and Talking Heads and interweaves them with intricate melodies and a pulsing electronic presence. Just don't call them quirky. Listen to the Pixies -esque bass drop-in on Party followed a minute later by appropriated Bonnie Tyler lyrics. Their music is a frantic pastiche with a not-so-obvious...
