Description of Chemical Chords
This Japanese version of Chemical Chords includes 3 Japan only bonus tracks, 'The Nth Degrees,' 'Magne-Music,' and 'Spool of Collusion'. The latter is exlclusive to this pressing while the first two can be found on the UK Deluxe Edition pressing. Being released by the iconic legendary label 4AD, Chemical Chords is a collection of purposefully short, dense, fast pop songs, according to Gane, brimming with Motown-like drums, O Hagan s finest baroque-pop brass and string arrangements and etched with some of Sadier s most eloquent, mellifluous vocal performances to date, it is, nonetheless, classic Stereolab; like all their best work, a perfect equipoise between an implausibly cool past and a shamelessly exotic future. The eleventh album in an illustrious career, Chemical Chords began life in early-2007 when Tim Gane started messing with a series of about seventy tiny drum loops on top of improvised chord sequences using piano and vibraphone. Building them up from there later slowing the tracks down or speeding them up a totally new way of doing songs for us With typical prolificacy, the band laboured over the summer at their studio, Instant Zero (in Bordeaux, France), helping transform these blueprints into 32 luminous new songs, with keyboardist/technician Joe Watson manning the mixing desk. Half the new repertoire was selected for this album, which, for all the breathless spontaneity of its invention, is arguably the band s tautest, most highly focused work this century.
