I've listened to space rock and some similar stuff but how've I never gotten into this? It's so good — the only problem is I don't know anything about this genre. Any essentials? Subgenres? Please give me more and discuss it doesn't even have to be close to Stereolab as long as it's broadly considered 'lounge'.

Loungecore is dead, it's not the 90s anymore. Enjoy your Kanye West and Taylor Swift instead, it suits you. You don't deserve the grooves bitches.

but I like it, I don't care if it's dead :'^(
Listen to Broadcast

Stereolab isn't lounge really. They just know lounge. I don't know shit about lounge. Like they make beautiful druggy post-rock out of kitsch. I dunno if I wanna get any kitschier. Do you know what I mean? Do you wanna go deeper? I was under the impression they dredged the shallows. Kinda like sampling.

what >>63229025 said.
do you want to go to the source (down the lounge, easy-listening, library, exotica rabbithole), or do you want more groups that sampled/revived the style in the 90s?
>>63228256
going to assume >>63229159 the latter. you'll probably get some of what you're after in Tipsy

<this isn't a great album, but has its moments and will get you the same vibe
And a more modern interpretation you may dig.

So lounge music is nu disco?
And back to the late 90s, you had Luke Vibert aka Wagon Christ. This video + dimitri from paris were my entry into the original genres (hadn't heard Stereolab at that point). Honestly don't have the album anymore and don't remember it well enough to tell you if it'll get you where you want to go. Doesn't hold up well from what I remember. Again, most of the revival of these sounds were being done by sampling/djs/electronic musicians. Tipsy mixed in live instrumentation as well, however.

Not really, but you can trace a thru-line from the late 50s, to the 60s, to the 70s, to the modern revivalists and this album.
Modern lounge may be more along the lines of the Saint Germain des Prés Café series. Does that include nu-disco? I dunno, not up on my subgenres.
Oh, I forgot to mention April March. Not exclusively lounge revival (also some ye-ye and chanson). If you've only heard Chick Habit, know it's not really representational of her work. Less musically interesting than Stereolab, but probably right up your alley.

nice digits, but nah
Well this thread went nowhere. Hope OP was helped by my suggestions. I'm out.

Yes! I was in class but these are all great. I want to mention I was aware that Stereolab was 90s revival and that I did mean lounge as a whole. Thanks again to everyone who contributed!
Check out a group called Death by Chocolate and their little 30 some minute album Bric a Brac
