Lab closures: Stereolab suspend business

Worrying news from the Stereolab camp:

Hiatus/Sabbatical/Pause/Intermission/Breather
Dear All,

As we recently made #51 with Emperor Tomato Ketchup in the Amazon 100 Greatest Indie Rock Albums of all Time we feel that our work is done for the moment.
We have had to cancel the last two shows that we were scheduled to play, apologies to all that had bought tickets, and there are no plans to record new tracks.
Duophonic are working on the release of Chemical Chords 2, we also have plans for a new Switched On and remastering of the back catalogue.
We are are all going to have a bit of a rest now after nearly 19 years and work on a few other projects.
The website will still be updated and disks released but there won't be any new Stereolab product for a while.

Cheerio
Pikey

You can only love a band who cite coming at the top of the second half of a best 100 albums list as achieving their goals. We'll miss 'em.
