"Chemical Chords" is the first album proper from Stereolab in four years (since 2004?s "Margerine Eclipse"). It?s the eleventh album in an illustrious career, and is the result of a new approach the band has taken to song composition. Tim Gane started messing with "seventy tiny drum loops", adding improvised chord sequences using piano and vibraphone, building them up, slowing the tracks down or speeding them up. The album features song writing by Laetitia Sadier, Tim Gane and company (including one solo-Tim Gane composition), as well as string and brass arrangements from Sean O'Hagan (ex-Stereolab, High Llamas). The result is an album of 14 new tracks brimming with Motown-like drums, O?Hagan?s finest baroque-pop brass and string arrangements and etched with some of Laetitia Sadier?s most eloquent, mellifluous vocal performances to date. It is, nonetheless, classic Stereolab; a perfect equipoise between an implausibly cool past and a shamelessly exotic future. Deluxe Edition packaged in a "Japanese 60's style card sleeve" with two bonus tracks.

"I've become obsessed with taking stuff out, leaving only the most important elements in place. I got more into blending and integration and subtlety. I just want to be courageous enough to feel and express as much as possible and that means ALL the emotions." - Joan Wasser
"Jason is willing to lose everything to make a good record which is a very rare thing these days. He'll push everything to the limit in the pursuit of making a good record. I guess you could say it's excessive, but often it's the case of trying to make beautiful things" - Bobby Gillespie

"We've worked hard for a long time, but it’s a tough world to get by in. Anything that doesn't fit the mold scares the music industry," says lyricist and singer Dennis Lyxzén.

Again produced by Easybeats legend Harry Vanda & Glenn Goldsmith, Thieves is jam packed with brilliant pop melodies, high-octane rock & roll, and the budding lyrical genius of Declan Melia.
