"Miss Modular" went out as a single and as an EP from Dots and Loops, the fifth Stereolab album, which Duophonic and Elektra released on 22 September 1997, and it reached 60 on the UK singles chart. Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier wrote it, Sadier sings lead, and John McEntire recorded it and produced and mixed it alongside the Groop.
Dots and Loops was the English-French band's first album made on Pro Tools, split between studios in Chicago and Düsseldorf, and it eased off the krautrock and drone the band was known for in favour of jazz and electronic textures, with bossa nova and 1960s pop never far away. The lyrics poke at consumerism, materialism and how people deal with each other, and some critics count the record among the band's finest.
