ooh, ooh! may i? ok...
Stereolab is from Canada. i first came across them maybe 7 or 8 years ago in
my snotty-record-shop-jocky days in Cinci. the cd was called _Peng!_
it's highly cool and very stylish. sounds:
lots of sampled electronics, luciously layered guitar fuzzies, dual female
vocals (mostly in French), lots of percussion, very adventurous music.
constantly euphoric sounding - definitely well done 'feel-good' stuff.
i got to see Stereolab a few years back at Sudsy's - a then little-heard of
band called Cornershop was the opener (Cornershop *used* to be a lot cooler
then - not so much poppie hookie tripe - the singer even played a mridingam
from India, fixed ontop of a barstool)
Ric: word up on the Stereolab. i'm impressed.
