Stereolab is a UK-based band whose style, mixing 1950s-1960s pop and loungemusic with the "motorik" beat of krautrock, was one of the first to which the term " post-rock" was applied. They are noted for the use of vintage keyboard instruments like Moog synthesizers and Vox and Farfisa organs. Stereolab is also notable for founding their own record label, Duophonic Records, with a grant from UK charity The Prince's Trust. The band is often referred to as "The Groop" by their fans (and in the title of their song "The Groop Play Chord X" on the album Space Age Bachelor Pad Music). They were founded in 1990 by songwriters (guitar, keyboards), formerly of the band McCarthy, and Laetitia Sadier(sometimes credited as Seaya Sadier; vocals, keyboards, trombone, guitar), who is from franceand sings in both English and French.

L’enfer Des Formes Lyrics
Stereolab
De la mme manire,
Que des filles un peu naves,
On se laisse faire,
Par la tte du pays,
On sen va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur cartlement,
Entre motion et indiffrence,
Entre rvolte et drision,
On a le dsir, on se dit il faut agir,
Mais cette lchet inavouable,
Nous rend bien trop gouvernables,
On sen va comme des poltrons,
Vivant mal leur cartlement,
Entre motion et indiffrence,
Entre rvolte et drision.
(whispered at the end of the song...)
On sen va...
Hell of forms
In the same manner,
As girls a bit naive,
We are manipulated,
By the head of the(our)country,
Were behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision,
We feel the desire, we tell ourselves we must react,
But this shameful cowardness,
Makes us too easy to be controlled,
Were behaving like cowards,
Ill at ease because of the separation,
Between emotion and indifference,
Between revolt and derision.
(whispered at the end of the song...)
Were going away...
