		The band are often referred to as "The Groop" by their fans (and in the title of their song "The Groop Play Chord X" on the album Space Age Batchelor Pad Music).
		As the band developed, they incorporated new instrumentation, and an increasingly complex sense of rhythm and structure, frequently making use of irregular time signatures as well as unorthodox chord progressions and melodic intervals.
		Stereolab are a British-based band whose style, mixing 1950s-1960s pop and lounge music with the "motorik" beat of krautrock, was one of the first to which the term "post-rock" was applied.

		Laika was the first dog in space, packed away in the shell of Sputnik 2.
		Much of Laika's music appears to be stream of consciousness, both in the music and in the lyrical content.
		The band melded its great range of influences--from Can and Kraftwerk to the nascent sounds of jungle to dub reverberations and the whispered samples of the mechanical/industrial environment of the late 20th century.

		Laika, however, a longtime staple of England's trend-setting indie label Too Pure (who introduced us to P.J. Harvey and Stereolab, among others), appear more than content with their inconspicuous place in pop.
		While other bands obsess opportunistically with the here and now of music, Laika have always fixed their eye patiently on the future, bringing us the music of tomorrow today, often before we've even let yesterday sink in.
		As the fates would have it, Laika's debut was released just before the massive industry hype machine set its scanners on techno, and the band's subsequent two-year hiatus further deferred the amount of attention their music warrants.

		Laika release their brilliant new album, 'Wherever I Am, I Am What Is Missing', in the UK this week on October 20th.
		The album is layered with feeling; from the wistful sweeping melodies of ‘Alphabet Soup’ to the dark, rolling hypnotic beats of ‘Fish For Nails’, Laika’s cool melodies, dub basslines and layers of sound compliment Margaret's entrancing vocals which weave effortlessly in and out of the mix.
		The new album from Laika is now finished and due for release October 20th.

		Laika (meaning barker in Russian) was the first living creature to escape the earth’s atmosphere when on November 3, 1957 the Soviet space program launched Sputnik II, a small spaceship helmed by a stray dog that was found on the streets of Moscow.
		Like their canine cosmonaut namesake, Laika (the band) explore the contours of a largely unknown universe — testing the air and water for a legion of like-minded groups who have followed in their wake.
		Laika first started orbiting the indie rock and electronic scenes in 1993 when vocalist/guitarist Margaret Fiedler left her previous group, Moonshake.

	Laika: Wherever I Am I Am What's Missing - PopMatters Music Review
		Laika have always taken their own sweet time releasing their albums, and Wherever I Am I Am What's Missing is their fourth album in nine years.
		The result is a more consistent Laika album than what we've been used to in the past, subtly veering to the middle of the road.
		The album's one saving grace is the fact that Laika know how much is too much: it's a rather consistent record from beginning to end, but with 10 songs in 42 minutes, any longer would have been too much of the same thing.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Laika: Wherever I Am, I Am What's Missing
		Laika is not a rock band in the same way Radiohead is not an electronic band.
		Laika use guitars as accents to their electronic-based, loop-generated music, while Radiohead utilizes electronic blips, loops and squeals to accent their guitar-driven music.
		While Laika's music would still be at home in teen fashion stores, the surprising elements in their songs make it more likely that you'll hear them in the hipper shops in trendy enclaves like SoHo, South Beach and SoMa.

		But the band's popularity really took off after their music was introduced into the US, where they became legendary among the surf/garage/punk/alternative set for their otherworldly instrumental albums and mesmerizing live shows.
		Laika have toured the states six times, including a legendary stint supporting Chicago industrial rockers Ministry on the band's "Filth Pig" tour.
		Since the band members are all big fans of movies and soundtrack albums, one of their main goals is to get their music on the big screen.

		The full band of Laika (with a live drummer and bassist) opened for Radiohead on the Southern European tour in 2000.
		Laika’s press release says that the term post-rock was coined for them.
		In fairness to Fiedler and the band, during the songs where she resists the urge to pseudo rap and actually sings, the result is very acceptable.

		It just so happens that instead of getting away from it all he found himself teamed up with Paddy Morall, a bassist with a local band who he claimed were great but "had no songs of their own".

	L2SB.co.uk - FROM THE MAKERS OF LISTEN.TO/SHEFFIELDBANDS
		The band, who reached the dizzy heights of number two in the charts, were one of the least po-faced, most good natured and damned enjoyable rock acts this country has ever produced.
		Now their frontman, Tony Wright, is back with his new band Laika Dog, and we caught up with him backstage at the Boardwalk for a chat about his new venture.
		Onstage the band aren’t a million miles away the rock sound we’re used to from Tony, but the lyrics are less flippant, and there are a lot more quiet and reflective moments.

		But the biggest failure is that Laika & the Cosmonauts offer themselves to much to the wider audience.
		That makes Amazing Colossal Band more enjoyable, but as it is for pop albums, the feeling doesn't last so long as you may wish.
		And because Laika & the Cosmonauts are pure professionals in their job, they have remained the high artistic level in their music, even though The Amazing Colossal Band can be considered as party music to dance to.

	Laika: Aversion.com Interview
		For Laika, such a fantasy is just another chapter in the band’s history.
		Though the band’s mix of ambient and straight rock’n’roll has long wooed critics—witness a pile of rave reviews stretching back to the mid-‘90s—the public didn’t come around as quickly to the band as the press.
		In a music world where bands aim for either quick-fix, traditional songwriting or outlandishly experimental fare, Laika’s approach, mixing listenable ear candy with experimentation, could shock the pants off either camp—a reaction Fixsen hopes for.

	Splendid E-zine: Features: Laika
		We are a pretty anti-conceptual band and like to evolve our music rather than try to slavishly follow a predefined path.
		Like most things Laika, the decision to call a song finished is completely instinctual -- we know it when we hear it and it takes "two thumbs up" from both of us to get there.
		The interesting thing here is that actually our newest record is the first record we have truly finished, in the sense that we decided it was done rather than had to stop because we were getting behind on the rent.

	Hot Little Rocket - Laika, Danish Documentary Review
		This is a band that seems like it doesn’t give a shit but their music results in some of the best indie rock that Calgary (Canada for that matter) has ever seen.
		The band can crank out rockers like the opening track “Vive Death!” that gets you primed and pumped for what’s to come or slow things down and stay away from the cheese as they do in “Firesale”.
		Laika comes off as a very original fresh guitar rock sound even though borrowing a lot from bands such as Jawbreaker.

	Laika and the Cosmonauts - News
		While fans who first fell for the band's surf authenticity may be surprised by the slick, almost free-jazz guitar noodling on songs like "Haroosh," no matter how far out the band goes, their songs always abound with uniquely dreamy and vividly detailed texture.
		Laika and the Cosmonauts are promoted as Finland's No. 1 surf band, which might not mean squat to us in the good ol' U.S.A. But this is no novelty act.

		Enlisting drummer Lou Ciccotelli, Laika debuted in 1993 with the Antenna EP and the next year with their wonderfully diverse album, Silver Apples On The Moon.
		The band went on to tour with 1995’s Lollapalooza, Stereolab, Tricky, and eventually Radiohead’s OK Computer tour, after their second album, Sounds of the Satellites was released.
		Using outer space constantly as a source of inspiration (their name is derived from one of the first dogs to travel in space), the group used funky, jazzy and experimental sounds to create a musical world of their own.

		There sometimes comes a time in a band's career when things are still great, but you can sense that the natural lifespan is nearing the end.
		We love the band & music and are very proud of all the gigs and records we´ve done.
		We don´t wanna our good career to go where we end up being a bored/boring bar band that plays too few gigs to keep it tight, with the same songs all the time and gradually keeps getting worse and worse and in the process start hating the music and each other.
