Cobra And Phases Group Play Voltage In The Milky Night Stereolab

If electricity, as Lou Reed suggested, comes from other planets, Stereolab must be wired into the intergalactic grid. Their inimitable space-age bachelor pad music favours a blend of samba rhythms, jazzy beats and avant pop. Cobra, Stereolab's 11th album in eight years, is a double LP to lose yourself in - one for the headphones rather than the Hoovering. In the midst of the sonic burps and wah-wahing synths, you can just make out Laetitia Sadier's Nico-esque musings. Plug into the friends electric.
