okay im listening to margerine eclipse rn and it’s genuinely uncanny how you can almost hear mary’s voice sometimes, even though it isn’t her

just makes the whole experience more heartbreaking, she really didn’t deserve to go so soon :(

complete tonal shift but this album cover goes so hard btw, how did they consistently get amazing album art

Margerine Eclipse, Stereolab (2004)

Stereolab’s first record after the death of key member Mary Hansen didn’t display the dip in quality that one would expect of such a crucial deficit. The key development here was the use of ‘dual mono’ in the stereo mix, separating the instrument in either ear. Though some might dismiss the mix as a gimmick -and deem it slightly disorientating in headphones – it added another fascinating dimension to Stereolab’s retroism.

Though without as much notoriety for nuanced experimentative internationalist pop, Margerine Dream still felt like Stereolab were ahead of the curve. Exactly which curve is hard to say -perhaps by now their trajectory was almost completely insulated from anyone else- but Margerine Eclipse seemed to tap-in to early-2000s indietronica. Helped again by wonderful songwriting, Sadier, Gane and co helped slot another element of pop into their already-esoteric vein.

Margerine Eclipse is also, to date, Stereolab’s last studio album of note. In that regard, it’s certainly worthy of ending their decade-long streak of seven (!) terrific and defining pop works, the last truly great album from perhaps the most interesting pop group of the last quarter century.

Pick: ‘Margerine Melodie’

Ah, c'est un travail que cet amour qui fait souffrir Qui frustre quand on n'arrive pas a s'ouvrir Le carcan le control semblent alors plus faciles Ne reservent pourtant que des temps difficiles

On le force on le crie on cherche à l'exprimer, l'exorciser Dans un effort de détente de laisser aller, laisser aller

Quand l'amour prévaut il invite à la transformation La volonte de puissance n'est que fait évanescent

On le force on le crie on cherche à l'exprimer, l'exorciser Dans un effort de détente de laisser aller, laisser aller
