On August 19, iconic label 4AD releases Chemical Chords, Stereolab’s first real full-length effort since 2005’s Margerine Eclipse. According to band leader Tim Gane, the effort is "a collection of "purposefully short, dense, fast pop songs," which is music to the ears of Stereolab lifers, although perhaps not everyone else.
In honor of the release, Listening Post has gone into Stereolab mode. Below you will find an exclusive live video of the band performing "Percolator" from the 1996 effort Emperor Tomato Ketchup. Click the play button and groove to your heart’s content.
More exclusive videos are on the way. The celebration will reach critical mass soon in an interview with Tim Gane on Chemical Chords and his band’s continually mutating sound. Enjoy!
