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.

Miss Modular Lyrics
Stereolab
Sur la bote cartonne un trompe-loeil
Avoue volontiers quil est trompe-loeil.
Sur la bote cartonne un trompe-loeil
Avoue volontiers quil est trompe-loeil,
Donne lide du jeu et du mystre,
Un spectacle intime donne lide du jeu et de lhumour,
Spectacle qui rime, qui suscite dans les yeux un clair,
Une dcouverte, une ide qui peut jouer des tours,
Une muse, certes, donne lide du jeu et du mystre,
Un spectacle intime.
Sur la bote cartonne un trompe-loeil
Avoue volontiers quil est trompe-loeil.
Sur la bote cartonne un trompe-loeil
Avoue volontiers quil est trompe-loeil.

On the cased box a trompe loeil
Confesses willingly that it is trompe loeil.
On the cased box a trompe loeil
Confesses willingly that it is trompe loeil,
Gives the idea of the game and the mystery,
An intimate spectacle gives the idea of the game and the humour,
Spectacle that rhymes, that arouses on the eyes a flash,
A discovery, an idea that can play tricks,
A muse, admittedly, gives the idea of the game and the mystery,
An intimate spectacle.
On the cased box a trompe loeil
Confesses willingly that it is trompe loeil.
On the cased box a trompe loeil
Confesses willingly that it is trompe loeil.
