After a 15-year hiatus, Stereolab emerges with "Instant Holograms On Metal Film," a meticulously crafted cinematic masterpiece that seamlessly blends the retrofuturistic dreams of late 70s and early 80s synthpop with their signature krautrocking drive. This ambitious, synth-laden album is a vibrant 2025 take on the band's signature retro-pop chic, inviting you to decode its frequencies like a strange, beautiful transmission from a parallel timeline. The album opens with the lead single "Aerial Troubles" and closes with the two-part "If You Remember I Forgot How To Dream," offering a rich and explorative journey through 11 tracks that span 59 minutes. With a blend of catchy melodies, intertwining synth and guitar riffs, and a commentary on current affairs, "Instant Holograms On Metal Film" is a testament to Stereolab's enduring influence and innovation. The album is set to release on May 23, 2025, via Duophonic UHF Disks / Warp Records, with Stereolab hitting the road for live shows across Europe, North America, South America, and the UK throughout the year.
