Peng! LP

Stereolab's Peng! LP isn't for the faint-hearted; it lays bare a world of pulsating keyboards and complex rhythms. Tracks like "Perversion" dissect the hypocrisy of pleasure within a rigid framework, while the French-sung "K-Stars" speaks plainly from a smoky Parisian café. It's a record that demands a confrontation with its intricacies, much like the band that created it.
