March 1 street date. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE PREVIOUSLY SOLICITED DRAG CITY EDITION IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR CANADA. Over the course of her career, spanning three-plus decades, Lætitia Sadier has never shied away from the hard topics, or stopped advocating for the possibility of self-determination and emancipation in the face of the powers that be, conscious or unconscious. This is an essential part of the foundation she co-built with Stereolab, showcasing her spiritual, scientific and sociopolitical inquiries. She's continued this process with Monade and under her own name and as a writer/ singer/musician whose every album acts as a report on her journey of the self through time, space and the collective. On "Rooting For Love", the report is set alight by the heat of a turbulent world, collapsing institutions and Lætitia's fully engaged process of expression as well as orchestration. Leading from the inside is the implacable presence of Lætitia Sadier, herself interacting with a vocal assembly of men and women billed as The Choir. The regular reappearance of The Choir throughout "Rooting For Love" is a reminder of this music being one of a people in critical mass, in addition to an evolution that continues to deepen the rich harmonic fields in which Lætitia plays.

March 1 street date. This is the end credit song to a new AMC show called "Monsieur Spade". "La Langue Bleue" is a collaboration between Los Angeles avant-rock outfit Storefront Church, the singer of Stereolab Laetitia Sadier, and producer/drummer Henry Kwapis (Dijon, Dominic Fike, Dora Jar). "La Langue Bleue" was written to be featured in "Monsieur Spade", a noir set in the 60s on the French countryside spinning off of Dashiell Hammett's iconic character Sam Spade, now played by Clive Owen. The song, with its surreal lyrics and cinematic tone, references the giants of French film music such as Jean-Claude Vannier, Francois de Roubaix, and Michel Legrand.
