There’s no-one quite like Stereolab, so it feels really good to have them back. All your record collector mates will feel at peace and like summer is truly here, now that the groop are releasing records they can name all the influences from.

It’s a heartwarming thing and mercifully, the new material is as good as anything they’ve released and they’re not messing with their own formula too much, although it sounds freshened up from some of the later releases.

This latest song is called ‘Melodie is a Wound’ and it ticks all the right boxes for Stereolab fun, with jazzy vibraphone, chuggy and funky basslines, harmonies, wibbly library synths and all that good stuff.

Press play already.
