Sadier Laetitia

Disc: Near Mint

Cover: Near Mint

This is the debut album from one of the most
celebrated singers of rock’s recent history, Laetitia
Sadier.

In addition to her long history with Stereolab,
Laetitia’s music has also been heard over the
course of three albums with her band Monade.

For ‘The Trip’ Laetitia packed a band sound, with
musical collaborators including Americans Rebecca
Gates, Richard Swift and April March and French
musicians Julien Gasc and Emmanuel Mario (who
also collaborated on the final Monade album
‘Monstre Cosmic’).

The band sound was conceived with a spare touch
in mind. It was Laetitia’s intention not to ‘overload
or layer’ the music on the new record too much.
“It was made with this principle in mind, maybe as
a reaction to an ever-increasingly busy world and a
natural need for stillness. There are layers,
particularly to the vocals, but I feel I’ve pulled off
the intent of simplicity.”
