When Stereolab first started gracefully melting faces with their thoughtful and multilingual indie-Kraut in the early ’90s, cassettes were very much the way to go. Like Stereolab, the cassette rules and has never really gone away, but we have also been blessed to enter an era that affords us the option of multiple mediums.
For Stereolab fans chomping at the bit in wait of a full-scale reunion, there is still, thankfully, the solo work of Laetitia Sadier, who has remained wonderfully active with three stellar solo albums in the last five years, and is out on tour with a new single—in cassette form! The A-side is the track “Dry Fruit,” a jazzy dream-waltz, the surrealist video for which we’re premiering today. Break out the Tascam and check it out below.
