Stereolab Fall Tour Dates & Album Release

The highly anticipated forthcoming album from Stereolab, Chemical Chords is due out August 19 on 4AD.

If you discount Fab Four Suture, the EP collection of 2006, Chemical Chords is the first album proper from Stereolab since 2004’s Margerine Eclipse.

Being released by Duophonic UHF Disks / 4AD, Chemical Chords is, in Tim Ganes words,  "a collection of "purposefully short, dense, fast pop songs." The album is brimming with Motown-like  drums, baroque-pop brass and string arrangements and etched with some of Laetitia Sadier’s most  eloquent, mellifluous vocal performances to date. It is, nonetheless, classic Stereolab; like all their  best work, a perfect equipoise between an implausibly cool past and a shamelessly exotic future.
