Household Names

Written during a two-week break in touring for Cobra and Phases Group Played Voltage in the Milky Night, the band decided to go into Blackwing Studios to record a selection of tracks 'old style'—straight to tape. 'Household Names' was one of three tracks written on the first day, according to the running order on the Fostex cassettes.

It ended up as track 6 on the double mini-album First of the Microbe Hunters.

Listen to 'Household Names' here.

Future Limited Editions

Thanks to everyone that has pre-ordered a copy of Electrically Possessed. We know that there was a scramble for the limited coloured vinyl edition, and some fans missed out due to time zones or spam filtering.

To address this, future limited edition vinyl releases from Stereolab will be available via a Duophonic UHF Disks lottery system. No purchase will be necessary to sign up for the lottery.

How It Will Work

• If you've purchased Electrically Possessed on LP or CD, you'll receive a discount code/sticker insert in the sleeve.
• Redeeming the discount code gives you 10% off select Stereolab releases and registers you for the lottery.
• You can also register for the lottery without making a purchase here.
• Signing up to the Lab Report mailing list is required for lottery entry.

When we release the next limited edition, names will be drawn at random. Winners will be contacted via email with details on how to purchase the disk.

Only one disk per winner. Each LP will be personalised with the winner's name handwritten onto the sleeve.
