We're delighted to confirm what the eagle eyed among you have already spotted, Stereolab's forthcoming new album, Chemical Chords, is indeed being released by Duophonic UHF Disks / 4AD on August 18th (August 19th for those in the US). 
 
 Chemical Chords is their first album proper since 2004's Margerine Eclipse (if you discount the EP collection of 2006, Fab Four Suture) and it features thirteen songs by Laetitia Sadier and Tim Gane and one solo Gane composition, as well as string and brass arrangements from Sean O'Hagan. The picture you see to the right is the sleeve for the new album and the tracklisting reads like this... 
 
 1. Neon Beanbag
 2. Three Women
 3. One Finger Symphony
 4. Chemical Chords
 5. The Ecstatic Static
 6. Valley Hi!
 7. Silver Sands
 8. Pop Molecule (Molecular Pop 1)
 9. Self Portrait with "Electric Brain"
 10. Nous Vous Demandons Pardon
 11. Cellulose Sunshine
 12. Fractal Dream Of A Thing
 13. Daisy Click Clack
 14. Vortical Phonotheque

     The mighty Beggars Group umbrella keeps quite a stable of stellar labels dry, including Matador, Rough Trade, XL, 4AD, Too Pure, and Beggars Banquet. But even under the mightiest of umbrellas, space is limited, and rather than leave any poor imprint to the mercy of the rain, the Beggars Group has decided to shuffle things around a bit.
 
 According to a Billboard.biz report and a Beggars Group press release, the Too Pure and Beggars Banquet imprints will "not be used in the near future" as both artists and staff with each of these labels "migrate on to 4AD." This means Beggars Banquet gang heavies like the National, St. Vincent, Calla, Film School, and Tindersticks will get to tangle with Stereolab, Future of the Left, Scout Niblett, and the other kids from the Too Pure side of the tracks, all under the watchful eyes of the Mountain Goats, Blonde Redhead, the Breeders, and Scott Walker. Whatever you do though, do not tangle with Scott Walker. I mean it.
 
 The newly beefed-up 4AD will get its first boost in 2008AD from Stereolab when the act's previously reported and chatted-up Chemical Chords LP arrives August 19 bearing the 4AD and Duophonic UHF Disks insignias. 
 
 So long, Too Pure and Beggars Banquet. It's been real.
