Indie rock

Stereolab is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Can, Th' Faith Healers, Tortoise, Herbie Mann and Jim O'Rourke. Those roots explain a lot about how Stereolab arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, Disco Inferno, The American Analog Set and Animal Collective, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Avalanches, Dean Wareham, Broadcast, Cornershop and Melody Prochet, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 55 connections around Stereolab, reaching back through Can and forward to The Avalanches.
