STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: I'm obviously used to seeing Stereolab crop up on the reissue lists, but it's been FIFTEEN YEARS since a new album has hit, leaving 'Instant Holograms On Metal Film' a much needed new entry to their canon. Soaring 50's tropicalia, snappy jazz-adjacent electronics and woozy ghostlike vocals meet snappy disco grooves and rolling basslines. Further evidence, if any were needed that they're still one of the greatest acts to have dabbled in an oscillator.
