For many young indie music fans making their way through the “alternative” section of their local record store in the mid-’90s, it was the music of Stereolab, and in particular the voice of chanteuse Lætitia Sadier, that provided a pre-Internet window into the worlds of French New Wave, German krautrock and a sprinkling of Marxist politics. With their combination of Farfisa, Vox and Moog-heavy arrangements and Lætitia’s enchanting vocals, the band mesmerized a generation. Although the Stereolab story is currently marked with “indefinite hiatus,” since 2010 Sadier has delivered two stellar solo albums and doesn’t shy away from collaborations with younger artists like Bradford Cox of Deerhunter and Tyler The Creator.
