Description
Stereolab's first full-length recording without guitarist/vocalist Mary Hansen, who died in a tragic accident in December of 2002, 'Margerine Eclipse' finds the band soldiering on in admirable fashion. Essentially picking up where they left off on 2001's 'Sound-Dust', the group continues to employ their trademark blend of vintage keyboards, airy French/English vocals, and frothy lounge-meets-electronica pop sensibilities. That's not to say that there are absolutely no new developments; one can hear the occasional dash of hip-hop rhythm ('La Demeure'), Autechre-like laptop glitch-pop ('Vonal Declosion'), and even a bit of disco (on the end of album-closer 'Dear Marge') amid the familiarly odd time signatures, quirky socio-political lyrical observations, and postmodern retro-futurism. Most importantly, though, Stereolab's finely tuned knack for interesting arrangements, arresting timbres, and modestly elegant melodies remains unsullied.
