Most Likely To: make you see double and like it. On Stereo Image's nearly self-titled debut S/T , Johnny Dark (ex-Junior Boys) joins with house singer San Serac (née Nat Rabb) to make grooving, synthetic melodies – what the duo call "syncussion" – that belie their sleepy Hamilton, Ontario origins. Stereo Image shares its name with an optical illusion where a pair of identical two-dimensional pictures appears three-dimensional when viewed together, as with a Viewmaster. And just as a stereo images makes 2-D seem 3-D, Stereo Image sounds like it was [...]

If you haven't heard about Stereo Image then you are new to my blog. Here's a quick recap: Former Junior Boy Johnny Dark and resident disco singer San Serac formed Stereo Image in 2006. They signed to the Brooklyn-based record label Frog Man Jake . & this week they release their debut album S/T . Tada! I promised to give one more track on the day of the release (Tuesday, September 23) but I totally missed it. Turned out well though, b/c RCRD LBL has one more track, so now [...]
Maybe it's just us, but fall always seems to be such a depressing time of the year. The sky darkens earlier, the weather gets colder and colder, and aside from a few fortunate lucky kids in Texas, the music festivals are few and far between. Then again, the season does mark a rather stellar time for new music, something certainly reflected in this week's edition of our Friday Mixtape. So maybe things aren't so bad after all...

Former Junior Boy Johnny Dark and resident disco singer San Serac formed Stereo Image in 2006.

Their debut S/T is released September 23 via the Brooklyn-based record label Frog Man Jake . Here's what you can expect and honestly I can't wait for this shit. "Red Nights" | download [...]

This week starts off with some indie-pop, moves into some folk/old-school sound, and then finishes off with techno and electronica. A little something for everyone. The Dresden Dolls - Dear Jenny Alternative duo out of Boston that has a heavy cabaret influence. Known more for solemn songs they have opened for Nine Inch Nails and Panic at [...]
This new song comes to us perfectly timed cause we are a bit overdue for San Serac's yearly write up. San Serac has interestingly joined forces with Junior Boys founding member Johnny Dark. I initially thought that Junior Boys broke up after reading this and had to double check the facts. He was only part of the duo on the demo before they even got signed which is interesting cause some parts of this melody remind me of the Junior Boys, but then again the three songs I've heard remind me of a million other electro songs from [...]
Stereo Image is San Serac and Johnny Dark (formerly of Junior Boys ) These guys are on some "2 step Robert Palmer vision of tomorrow's light rock" (their words), which is just another way of saying their vibrant electro-pop is classy as hell. This track, taken from the duo's upcoming debut full-length, finds San Serac validating all those lofty " '80s David Bowie " comparisons : mp3: stereo image :: pack moves [...]
As a result of several things-the fact that I've recently fallen in love with Hipster Runoff to the point where I want to BE THEM (do you hear that, HRO? I WANT YOU INSIDE ME!), the fact that Hacks is all about day-glo dinosaurs and stuff that's totally not at all French but wants to be and Trixie wishes she could live in the second NES Zelda game (yeah, the one that was impossible to beat but kind of rocked-I had that gold cartridge which meant, I think, that I was either one of the first or one [...]
Stereo Image are Johnny Dark and San Serac; Dark was a founder member of Junior Boys (he left before the first album, Last Exit, was written and released) along with Jeremy Greenspan, so its no surprise that Stereo Image sound much like the band that ultimately spawned them. Its always going to be hard in this situation not to draw comparisons, but when the comparison is Junior Boys, then I think any comparison you can draw can only be a good thing. Stereo Image – Dark Chapter [...]
San Serac 's album Professional will definitely be up there in my end of year favourites, but in addition to releasing such a refreshing album, San Serac has also teamed up with Johnny Dark - formerly of Junior Boys to create some more electronic pop perfection under the guise of Stereo Image that will leave you yearning to hear more. The single is released on KIN records. [...]
