Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier teams with LA-duo Pearl & The Oysters for a fuzz-tastic stomper of a new single ahead of their rapidly approaching LP Coast 2 Coast (due Apr. 21 via Stones Throw). And there’s plenty more French coolness where that came from, we’re going back to 1985 for a coldwave classic from the band Ruth. Plus, The Strokes cover The Clash.
