If you can hear yelling outside your window, do not worry; it is only me, howling in celebration because Stereolab is back. Instant Holograms on Metal Film, due May 23 via Duophonic UHF Disks/Warp, features 13 new songs as well as contributions from Cooper Crain, Rob Frye, Ben LaMar Gay, Ric Elsworth, Holger Zapf, Marie Merlet, and Molly Read. First single “Aerial Troubles” is a charming cut that kicks off with vintage keys before turning into a charmingly psychedelic alt-pop choo-choo train.
The album will arrive two days before the band begins their world tour in Brussels on May 25. The North American run kicks off in October before a string of UK dates wraps things up. Check out the music video for “Aerial Troubles” below, and pre-order Instant Holograms on Metal Film here.
