The first “proper” album from ex-Stereolab mainman Tim Gane’s Berlin-based trio was rich in motorik krautrock and burbling synth noise. But like Stereolab (and kindred spirits Can), its locked grooves were balanced with genuine pop thrills, and guest spots by Bradford Cox (Deerhunter) and Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3) were an enhancement and not a distraction. Stereolab are veritable indie-rock legends, with a dedicated worldwide fanbase, and a band much beloved by their fellow musicians, with notable champions including Blur, Pharrell Williams (yes, really), Flying Lotus and Pavement. Most recently, and taking their fandom the extra mile, the prize has to go to !!!.
Cavern Of Anti-Matter are the new band from Stereolab mainman Tim Gane, now Berlin-based and collaborating with original Stereolab drummer Joe Dilworth, and synth wizard Holger Zapf.
