The Triy

Stereolab has always been an important band. They are mentioned in the movie High Fidelity, which I saw many years ago but never picked up on the band. My friend Max and I were in Princeton, New Jersey at a great record store called The Princeton Record Exchange.

There, he bought a two-CD compilation called Aluminum Tunes: Switched On, Vol. 3.

He put it on in the car ride back to our suburban boredom. We sailed across a warm french night with our bicycles wheeling through the clouds at impossible and steady speeds. I understood where Sufjan Stevens possibly got a lot of influence from the rhythmic jabs.
But this article isn't about that. That was just my first exposure to this amazing group.
The singer Lætitia Sadier has a new krautfolky drifts through the inner self to an inner wind chant. It's a luscious warm rain wrapped in star tails.
If you like: Stereolab, Sufjan Stevens, Neu!, Deerhunter, Atlas Sound and a want for space age bachelor pad music.
Recommended tracks: One Million Year Trip, Fluid Sand, and By the Sea.
