Need Band Sound 60s Burt 2023

You need retro? Get a load of their tools, from the classic Farfisa and Vox organs to the ever-lovable Moog synthesizers. You need futurist? It is the sound of not-so-well-oiled equipment, churning and sputtering into house age bachelor pad heaven and postindustrial hell. You need pure pop? Dig how they mine mod sounds of the ’60s, from Burt Bacharach to Françoise Hardy, and pull melodies straight out of a bubblegum wrapper. You need avant garde? Test the blatant liftings from ’70s krautrockers Neu! and Can, plus their appropriations of Philip Glass’s disjointed wordplay and Ornette Coleman’s jagged alto sax. You need that means? These are songs loaded with optimism, progressivism, humanism, and dashes of Marxism. You need nonsense? There’s loads of "la-la-la’s" to guide us into oblivion, and head vocalist Laetitia Sadier sings half the time in French. You need a groove band? Tracks like "Metronomic Underground" and "Les Yper-Sound" solid a funk trance heavier than voodoo and at the very least as danceable as any neo-hippie tripe. You need a band that rocks? Attempt "The Noise of Carpet" for its rug-burning guitar and acceleration drum whacks. Yesterday, tomorrow, now: Stereolab’s the one. –Roni Sarig
