Stereo Total
Listening to the effervescent Stereo Total can’t fail but make my day seem far better. Combining sharp satirical songs with an urgent and pressing beat, the tracks all leave me wanting at least one more verse, as the tunes burst through 3 minutes of high voltage electro pop. Reminiscent of the ’80s German electogroove, overlayed with Françoise vocals, which still retains her strong French accent. The natural crispness comes from lo-fi production, which leaves the pure energy and enthusiasm to come through loud and clear.

A great evening out can be expected at a Stereo Total gig.
