Check out Stereolab People

Stereolab is a very unique band from England who incroporate experimental/electronica into their own brand of indie rock but they also bring in elements of jazz and world music. Theyve been in the underground rock scene for many years now and recorded over 10 something albums, there very ambitious and creative and always have interesting music to release, tragedy hit the band hard when one of there vocalist Mary Hansen died from being run over by a bus when riding her bicycle, her backing voice helped make their signature sound and its was a sad ordeal. Yet they still found the will power to keep on creating music, there influence on the post rock scene its quite profound.

 

yeah, I wholeheartedly agree. They are a very styilistic: they explore several genres, and do so with keen intelligence. I'm glad that every album that comes out is different than the other, and that after 15 years they are still able to write great music.

 

Im glad somone picked up on my post though i was the only one who knew of them, i made a post about Spacemen 3 and no one picked up on it another great but totally different band nevertheless stereolab are still making great music its a shame that so many amazing bands in the underground just dont get enough recoginition while certain mainstreem groups get all this praise who just make the same old crap.

 

I like them. haven't really listened to them in about 3 years, though.

 

Emperor tomato ketchup still gets heavy rotation in my CD player.
Great group.

 

I'd have to say my favorite album is "Sound-Dust"---I like the orchestral approach they took.

 

Emeperor Tamotoe Ketchup is a fantastic album my favorite tracks have to be Metronomic Underground and Spark Plug. I also like their album Dots and Loops they bring a really cool tropical sort of feel in that album it brings a very laid back sort of feel but at the same time very radical.

"One of Stereolab's many spin-offs and side projects, Monade(pronounced mon-ard) originally featured Laetitia Sadier andPram's Rosie Cuckston. The duo began collaborating in the mid-'90s, and Sadier recorded the first Monade tracks in 1996 at Pram's studio, with Cuckston playing and also helping to engineer the session. Some of these tracks were released by Duophonic as the Sunrise Telling and Witch Hazel/Ode to a Keyring singles. Sadier continued to record atStereolab's own studio without Cuckston, and one of these tracks, "Cache Cache," ended up as a B-side on Stereolab'sCalimero single. In between her Stereolab duties, Sadiercompleted enough material for Monade's debut album, Socialisme Ou Barbarie: The Bedroom Recordings, which was released by Duophonic in Europe and by Drag City in the U.S. in spring 2003. For Monade's second album A Few Steps More, the band moved to Too Pure and expanded to include bassist/vocalist Marie Merlet, keyboardist Nicolas Etienne and drummer Xavier Chabellard. Monstre Cosmic arrived in 2008 and featured collaborations with the Bordeaux Conservatoire and the Toulousse-based group Momotte." http://www.allmusic.com/artist/monade-mn0000584865/biography
