Stereolab - Tomorrow is Already Here
***"Stereolab"*** are an English-French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990.
Led by the songwriting team of ***[Tim Gane](https://cutt.ly/BmFnRwl)*** (guitar and keyboards) and ***[Lætitia Sadie](https://cutt.ly/dmFnYuG)r***(vocals, keyboards and guitar), the group's music combines influences from *krautrock*, *lounge* and *1960s pop music*, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French.
Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the ***[Surrealist](https://cutt.ly/imFnOlx)*** and ***[Situationist](https://cutt.ly/ymFnAt5)*** movements.

Although ***"Stereolab"*** found success in the underground music scene and were influential enough to spark a renewed interest in older analogue instruments, they have never had a significant commercial impact. Meaby the key is lost in the interview where ***Gane*** and ***Sadier*** have discussed their musical philosophy - *"to be unique for us was more important than to be good"*.

On the band’s fourth album, named after the 1971 experimental film ***"[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/umHy9uD)"*** by Japanese author and director ***[Shūji Terayama](https://cutt.ly/ymHy398)***, ***”Stereolab”*** forgoing their earlier lo-fi drone dock aesthetic and experimented with composing songs around looped sounds with a heavy hip-hop, jazz, and dance influence instead of traditional riffs.
The group certainly hasn't backed away from pop melodies, but just as their hooks are becoming catchier, they bring in more avant-garde and experimental influences, as well.
Consequently, the album is ***”Stereolab”*** most complex, multi-layered record. It lacks the raw, amateurish textures of their early singles, but the music is far more ambitious, melding electronic drones and singsong melodies with string sections, slight hip-hop and dub influences, and scores of interweaving counter melodies.

Because of all its textures, the album isn't as immediately accessible as ***"[Mars Audiac Quintet](https://cutt.ly/xm9iRfJ)"***, but it is a rich, rewarding listen, defining examples of ***"Stereolab"*** rewardingly oxymoronic tendencies.

***”Tomorrow is Already Here”*** is the eighth song on the band’s fourth studio album ***”[Emperor Tomato Ketchup](https://cutt.ly/um9iOXY)”***, released on 18 March 1996 and was issued by ***"[Duophonic Records](https://cutt.ly/nmFZnnE)"*** and ***"[Elektra Records](https://cutt.ly/nmFZnnE)"***.
