About
22 vinyl titles spanning art pop, krautrock, and electronic — key pressings monitored in real time.
Stereolab originated in London with the collaboration of English guitarist and keyboardist Tim Gane and French vocalist Lætitia Sadier, who also plays trombone. Combining elements of 1950s-60s lounge pop, krautrock, Brazilian rhythms, and electronic experimentation, their sound defies singular genre categorization. The band solidified in the early 1990s with the addition of Mary Hansen on backing vocals and keyboards, and Andy Ramsay on drums. Their discography includes 22 vinyl releases across indie rock, alternative, psychedelic, and electronic styles.
Vinyl collectors track multiple pressings, including original UK limited editions and test pressings, especially for albums like "Margerine Eclipse" (2004), "Sound-Dust" (2001), and "Instant Holograms On Metal Film" (2025).
