Slippery piece of kitsch indie supermarket music. In a good way.It feels good to post about one of the most singular bands of the 1990s indie alternative music scene. Stereolab were very definitely singular in the sense that it often seemed like they were a one-trick pony. But, oh my, what a trick it was.
The early coloured vinyl seven inches from the band that formed out of the ashes of the angstily great indie heroes McCarthy were highly collectable mail-order only pieces and they made me very happy. As their career unfurled, they became more laid-back and this a stellar piece of plasticine-boned Broadcast or Plone-like library music. It sounds like the soundtrack for an information film advertising The Kitchen Of The Future from the perspective of a housewife in 1974.
Don't think that's what the lyrics are about though.
