Sebuah duo electro pop asal Jakarta berdiri pada awal 2006 yang terdiri dari aroel (planetbumi) dan maria (klarinet). Pada akhir tahun 2006 mereka merilis album self-titled dibawah bendera aksara records.

Sempat tidak aktif selama beberapa bulan belakangan, karena saat ini mereka sedang menyiapkan studio album kedua yang akan diberi judul ‘cyber superstar’. Recording, Mixing dan Mastering telah selesai, hingga saat ini proses pembuatan album kedua mereka sedang memasuki tahap design dan penggandaan.

Pemilihan judul album ini bukan tanpa alasan. Fenomena youtube sebagai salah satu media yang sanggup menjadikan orang biasa menjadi superstar di jagad maya (cyber superstar) dan kebutuhan mendasar manusia atas pengakuan jati diri di lingkungan sosial tempat ia berinteraksi, menjadi alasan utama tema ini dipilih.

Agar cover yang dirilis sejalan dengan tema yang diusung sekaligus memiliki ikatan emosional dengan pendengarnya, maka stereomantic akan membuat cover berupa kolase foto-foto pendengarnya yang bergaya di depan webcam a la ‘youtube superstar’ dan meminta mereka mengirimkan foto tersebut, tanpa proses seleksi (selain seleksi SARA dan PORNOGRAFI), sebagai bagian dari cover stereomantic.

INSOMNIA
Stereomantic Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Insomnia coba aku pecahkan sgala misterimu
Kunanti dan kucari sesepi mimpi

Hoo rindu untuk bercumbu
Mesraan bawah sadarku
Kunanti dan kucari sesepi mimpi

Kaubunuh suhu di sangkar ku

Cuaca di tamanku

Gerimis datang
Musnahlah gersang
Ku tetap terjaga
Aku tetap terjaga

Habis terkuras
Kelenjar air mata
Ku tetap terjaga
Aku tetap terjaga

Insomnia?
Insomnia?

Kaubunuh suhu di sangkar ku
Cuaca di tamanku
Musim di kanvasku

Suhu di sangkarku
Cuaca di tamanku
