Dots and Loops', Stereolab's fifth album, features lush lounge and jazz textures, and showcases the band's most complex set of rhythms yet. Stereolab is aided by members of The High Llamas (like-minded travellers in the production of whimsical '60s sounds), Jan St. Werner and Andi Toma of Mouse on Mars, and John McEntire of post-rock pioneers Tortoise. The album was recorded in Chicago and Düsseldorf and bridges a unique American-Euro influence.
