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.

Olv 26 Lyrics
Stereolab
Depuis le temps que cest promis
Nous irons tous au paradis-
Cest un appel sourd une promesse
Aveuglante qui noie la conscience;
Ce paradis me pse, son poids
Incommensurable abruti;
Ancre dans des strates profondes,
Une pulsion des plus alinantes;
Telle une fausse libration,
Un tat de pure dpendance;
Le paradis est derrire moi
Dans le ventre de ma maman-
Unchallenged myths, they lie heavy,
Limaginaire is our worse enemy,
The paradise, what an idea !
A guardian still on duty.
Olv 26
Before the promised times
We were always in paradise
Its a name given to one promise
(.....)who kills conscience
The paradise I think of, its weight
Incomprehensibly abrupt
(....) in these profound layers
(....) a false liberation
A state of pure dependence
The paradise is behind me
In the center of my mother-
Unchallenged myths, they lie heavy,
Limaginaire is our worse enemy,
The paradise, what an idea !
A guardian still on duty.
