Stereolab have released the tracklist for their upcoming album, Margerine Eclipse. This will be Stereolab's first full-length album since the accidental death of guitarist Mary Hansen last year. It is set for a release date of January 27th, 2004 in these United States via Elektra (plus a double vinyl release on Duophonic UHF Disks). The news comes right on the heels of the release of Instant 0 in the Universe EP, Stereolab's most recent offering (which met the critical scorn of our resident Stereolab buff, Dominique Leone). The tracklist:

01 Vonal Declosion [accent on the 'e']
02 Need to Be
03 "...sudden stars"
04 Cosmic Country Noir
05 La Demeure
06 Margerine Rock
07 The Man with 100 Cells
08 Margerine Melodie
09 Hillbilly Motobike
10 Feel and Triple
11 Bop Scotch
12 Dear Marge

There will be a bonus track, "La Spirale," on the Japanese release.

Stereolab is already in preparation to begin touring in support of the new album: the official Stereolab website mentions that "live dates are [currently] being discussed." We'll keep you posted.
