Find Me Finding You
, the new album from the new organization called the
Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble
, manages to strike new chords while touching familiar keys in the song of life. From its percolating opening beat,
Find Me Finding You
locates new systems within the sound-universe of
Laetitia Sadier
. This in itself isn't a surprise -- Laetitia has relentlessly followed her music through different dynamics and into a variety of dimensions over the course of four solo albums since 2010 (not to forget her three albums with
Monade
and the long era of Stereolab) -- but the nature of the construction here stands distinctly apart from her recent albums. Laetitia was inspired by a mind's-eye envisaging of geometric forms and their possible permutations. As she sought to replicate the shapes in music, this guided the process of assembly for the album. Part of the freshness of
Find Me Finding You
comes from working and playing within the Source Ensemble and exploring new sound combinations via a set of youthful and evolving musical relationships. Laetitia recognized the energy of the tracks in their initial form, and sought to preserve their vitality by not retaking too many performances -- instead, the rawness in the tracks was retained and refined at the mixing stage, maintaining an edge throughout. A key to Laetitia's music is her use of vocal arrangements. Throughout
Finding Me Finding You
, the shifting accompaniment creates space to bring this element gloriously forward. Arranged by Laetitia with
Joe Watson
and
Jeff Parker
making string charts that were subsequently transposed to vocal parts for several songs, richly arranged choirs of voices provide depth along with the thrilling presence of extra breath in the sound. The designation of Source Collective implies a new togetherness phase; alongside long-time collaborators
Emmanuel Mario
and
Xavi Munoz
, keyboard and flutes parts played by
David Thayer
(
Little Tornados
) were essential contributions, as well as further keys, synths and electronics from
Phil M FU
and several intense guitar sequences from Mason
le Long
.
Chris A Cummings
(aka
Marker Starling
, Laetitia's favorite composer) graciously wrote 'Deep Background' for her. The duet with
Hot Chip
's
Alexis Taylor
on 'Love Captive' gives voice to an ideological cornerstone of
Find Me Finding You
.
Find Me Finding You
combines a rigorous process for music-making with a deeply invested mindset, making captivating music that promises many stimulating spins to come!"
