As part of Blow Up 25 anniversary celebrations Blow Up Records are re-releasing various key titles special vinyl pressings from our catalogue. Originally released in 2015 we present a limited edition 180g PINK / TURQUOISE vinyl pressing of Yéyé Existentialiste, a compilation of the recording highlights of one of the world’s greatest exponents of lo-fi pop - Stereo Total. The album a ‘best of compilation’ that covered the band’s first 20 years of releases and highlights with all the tracks being fully re-mastered.
Stereo Total is the Berlin based French-German duo Françoise Cactus and Brezel Göring, whose playful eclectic music incorporates anything from New Wave, Pop Electronique, 60’s French pop mashed up with trashy Garage Punk Rock and Disco to form the band’s distinctive sound: “We’ve got a special sense of aesthetic. Cheap and cheesy, but still cool and chic.”
Stereo Total have released numerous studio albums, singles and film soundtracks on a variety of indie record labels over the years around the world, whilst extensively touring in Europe and North America with their concerts reaching South America, Japan, Australia, Russia and China. They have written and recorded in a variety of languages, predominantly in French, German and English, but also Spanish, Japanese and Turkish. A truly over-ground underground global lo-fi pop phenomenon!
‘Yéyé Existentialiste‘ was compiled by Paul Tunkin in conjunction with Cactus and Brezel for Blow Up Records. Stereo Total were always a favourite act for Paul to book for the Blow Up club, where he has promoted London shows for the band since the 90s. They will return to perform at a special Blow Up 25 concert at the 100 Club London – 24th October 2019.
The double album (released on heavyweight double LP, CD) features 28 recordings that span their twenty year career: including tracks from their first album ‘Oh Ah’ (1995) to studio album ‘Cactus vs Brezel’ (2012). It also includes several new mixes including a radically reworked – 'Everybody In The Discotheque (I Hate) - (Blow Up mix)'. Both CD and Vinyl contain liner notes from Stereo Total about the tracks and lyrics to the recordings contained within. All the recordings were re-mastered by Noel Summerville at 33/45 Mastering London.
