Stereolab: ‘Melodie Is A Wound’

“Melodie Is A Wound,” Stereolab’s second single ahead of their forthcoming LP Instant Holograms On Metal Film (their first in over 15 years!), is offering so much more than dulcet tones. The song arrives with a Stereolab-themed cryptic crossword puzzle, compiled by The Guardian’s puzzle editor (and Stereolab superfan) Alan Connor. Of course, the tune stands on its own so grab it now as a free download while you count the days until you can marinate in the album as a whole when it drops on May 23 via Warp Records.
