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.

Les Bons Bons Des Raisons Lyrics
Stereolab
Curled upon a contracted and drowsy exterior
Humming to Auntie Sheila my torment, my bother
She gives me chocolat lalalala lalalala
Humming to Auntie Sheila my torment, my horror
She gives me chocolat, it's far better than reasoning
Through a dance let go the grip
Link with the empty space
Enough there to create heat, replenish this place
Bon-bons bon-bons bon-bons
Better than reason
Sweeter than reason
