{"product_id":"5056818800429","title":"Stereolab \"Margerine Eclipse\" 2LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eStereolab's first full-length recording without guitarist \/ vocalist Mary Hansen, who died in a tragic accident in december of 2002, Margerine Eclipse finds the band soldiering on in admirable fashion. Essentially picking up where they left off on 2001's Sound-Dust, the group continues to employ their trademark blend of vintage keyboards, airy french \/ english vocals, and frothy lounge-meets-electronica pop sensibilities. That's not to say that there absolutely no new developments; one can hear the occasional dash of hip-hop rhythm (La Demeure), Autechre-like laptop glitch-pop (Vonal Declosion), and even a bit of disco (at the end of album-closer Dear Marge) amid the familiarly odd time signatures, quirky socio-political lyrical observations, and postmodern retro-futurism. Most importantly, though, Stereolab's finely tuned knack for interesting arrangements, arresting timbres, and modestly elegant melodies remains unsullied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"---","offers":[{"title":"VINYL","offer_id":44950183608495,"sku":"5056818800429","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/8833\/2463\/files\/a3817069185_10.jpg?v=1740703663","url":"https:\/\/endofanear.sbs\/products\/5056818800429","provider":"End Of An Ear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
