The band were released from their recording contract with Elektra Records due to poor record sales, and their self-owned label Duophonic signed a distribution deal with Too Pure and later Warp Records. Throughout their career, Stereolab has had moderate commercial success. The High Llamas' leader Sean O'Hagan (guitar and keyboards) was a member from 1993 to 1994 and continued appearing on later records for occasional guest appearances. Other longtime members included 1992 addition Mary Hansen (backing vocals, keyboards and guitar), who died in 2002, and 1993 addition Andy Ramsay (drums). The two were romantically involved for fourteen years and are the group's only consistent members. Stereolab were formed by Gane (guitar and keyboards) and Sadier (vocals, keyboards and guitar) after the break-up of McCarthy. They are regarded among the most innovative and influential groups of the 1990s. The band also draw from funk, jazz and Brazilian music, and were one of the first artists to be dubbed " post-rock". On stage, they play in a more feedback-driven and guitar-oriented style. Their lyrics have political and philosophical themes influenced by the Surrealist and Situationist movements. Led by the songwriting team of Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier, the group's music combines influences from krautrock, lounge and 1960s pop music, often incorporating a repetitive motorik beat with heavy use of vintage electronic keyboards and female vocals sung in English and French. I personally don't like the Juno soundtrack much, but I'm mentioning it because the reason I think I don't like it as much I feel it sounds like someone was trying to make another Garden State/High Fidelity soundtrack.Stereolab are an Anglo- French avant-pop band formed in London in 1990. If you want to go back to the early 70's rock, Almost Famous is good. The High Fidelity soundtrack introduced a lot of people to Belle & Sebastian, The Beta Band, and Stereolab. Many Wes Anderson films have soundtracks that are scored by Mark Mothersbaum, but he often pulls in some great pop songs. I'll start off by recommending a couple similar soundtracks:

I really think Garden State has one of the to 10 best pop music (yes it's indie but I mean pop as in not orchestrally scored) soundtracks of all time.
