Review

Beveled puzzle shapes on the cover art of Fab Four Suture beg the question: where does Stereolab's tenth full-length fit into the prolific act's fifteen year career? Is it a bold new direction, a weird misstep, or are the avant-pop tastemakers treading water? Fanboy internet sites seem disappointed with this one, but that's perhaps because their writers are still in college and they think that thinking too much is what it's all about. (Sometimes, a cigar is just a cigar, you know.) Laetitia Sadier's uplifting lyrics may sound lifted from bad translations of Situationist graffiti, but even the band doesn't take that side of things too seriously, especially at this point. To answer the previous question, Suture treads water, yes, but marvelously so. This is the sound of one of the best and most important indie bands of the last 20 years reveling in their own, neat universe. It's like a genre novelist playing with characters and situation at the end of a trilogy, if that doesn't sound too silly to say. They've yet to fully heal from the horrible loss of keyboard/vocalist Mary Hansen, but it's just wonderful to hear them having fun again; they fully deserve it. --Mike McGonigalSpin Magazine hailed Stereolab as one of pop's 50 most influential ensembles. Over fifteen prolific years, the band has produced qualitatively consistent and unique music that has been instantly recognized by media. In addition to over a dozen glittering LPs, their back catalog is littered with fan-pleasing gems: limited editions, one-off collaborations, split singles, etc. This CD/double 10-compilation also includes songs from the previous 7-inch series released in September 2005. "England's lounge-pop heroes" - Blender. "Stereolab's unmistakable cosmonaut pop...was a trademarked stamp of the '90s. No one else managed to duplicate their retro-futurist harmony or even come close to naming their albums with the same pre-Fridge Magnet Poetry serendipitous absurdity" - Fader.
