Over the Summer of 2007 Stereolab reconvened at Instant Zero, their studio in Bordeaux to record 32 luminous new songs which would become two distinct albums – 2008's Chemical Chords and this their new release, Not Music.
The recordings began when Tim Gane started messing with "a series of about seventy tiny drum loops" on top of improvised chord sequences using piano and vibraphone. "Building them up from there – later slowing the tracks down or speeding them up – a totally new way of doing songs for us..."
Not Music is Stereolab's twelfth album and is released during the band's self-imposed hiatus from recording and touring. The album is released via Stereolab's own imprint Duophonic UHF Disks.
