Stereolab, an innovative group hailing from England, are distinguished pioneers in the avant-pop and post-rock scenes, having formed in 1990 by Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier. Known for their fusion of styles that encompass krautrock, lounge pop, and 1960s pop, Stereolab's music wears its eclecticism on its sleeve, blending organic instrumentation with electronic textures, and they've been celebrated for their unique blend of political and philosophical lyrics delivered through Sadier's hypnotic vocals.

Over the decades, Stereolab has consistently pushed the boundaries of their sound, earning a devoted fan base and critical acclaim with a discography that includes seminal albums like "Transient Random-Noise Bursts with Announcements" and "Dots and Loops." The band went on hiatus in 2009, but their legacy continued to grow, leading to a re-emergence in recent years with tours and an extensive reissue campaign. This includes a series of compilations titled "Switched On," which collects rare tracks and is a testament to their enduring influence and relentless creativity. Releases such as "Pulse Of The Early Brain [Switched On Volume 5]" and "Electrically Possessed [Switched On Volume 4]" not only show Stereolab's prowess as sonic explorers but also as craftsmen of a musical style that is uniquely theirs, marrying the cerebral with the visceral in harmonious synergy.
