Formed in London in 1990 by Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, Stereolab are pioneers of avant-pop, blending krautrock rhythms, lounge aesthetics, and experimental electronics into a distinctive sound. Their music fuses vintage analog textures with forward-thinking minimalism and politically infused lyrics. Over the years, the band’s innovative approach has influenced countless artists across indie and electronic scenes. Albums such as *Emperor Tomato Ketchup* and *Dots and Loops* solidified their reputation as one of the most inventive and enduring groups in modern alternative music.
