Sound-Dust is the seventh studio album by English-French rock band Stereolab. It was released on 28 August 2001 in North America by Elektra Records and on 3 September 2001 internationally by Duophonic Records.[17] The album was produced by John McEntire and Jim O'Rourke and recorded at McEntire's Chicago studio Soma.[18] It was Stereolab's last album to feature singer and guitarist Mary Hansen, who died in a biking accident the following year.[19]

The first 1,200 copies of both the CD and LP issues of Sound-Dust were packaged with a handmade book sleeve.[20] A remastered and expanded edition of the album was released by Duophonic and Warp on 29 November 2019.[21]

The song "Nothing to Do with Me" features lyrics derived from English satirist Chris Morris' TV series Jam.[22]
