Entertainment Reviews:
Spin - p.111
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he summery results shine with unexpected passion that heats up even Laetitia Sadier's impenetrable bilingual cool."The Wire - p.55
"CHEMICAL CHORDS is unmistakable Stereolab: audible throughout is the familiar oscillation of bandleader Tim Gane's pop sensibility between a streamlined minimalism on the one hand and a fascination with baroque detailing on the other....There is fresh skip in its step."Q (Magazine) - p.112
3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he brass flourishes on 'Three Women' and 'The Ecstatic Static,' Laetitia Sadier's hypnotically sing-song vocals and the succinct, sweet 'Valley Hi!' show there's still much to admire."Blender (Magazine) - p.84
3 stars out of 5 -- "[E]ndearing hints of '60s pop glow faintly beneath the frictionless surfaces of Gane's loops, chirps and austerely percolating rhythms."Paste (magazine) (p.72) - "[T]he same core elements that initially characterized Stereolab -- an unrequited love of Krautrock, lunge, cheesy '60s pop and 'space age bachelor pad music,' combined with lyrics embracing Marxist politics and Situationist themes -- are still very much present in its output."
URB (p.88) - "Maintaining a pop-baroque signature...Gane's Burt Bacharach on mescaline ear for composition and Sadier's subdued French-wrapped vocals remain in a class by themselves."
