Silencio

Description

Silencio is the second solo album from Laetitia Sadier, whose tenure in Stereolab over the last two decades contributed mightily to the sound of modern music.

Laetitias budding solo career follows a trio of albums made under the name Monade.

Silencio is a lush production of diverse textures, featuring multi-instrumental performances by Jim Elkington, Julien Gasc, and Benjamin Gilbert, as well as an electronic cameo by Sam Prekop, and a co-write with former partner in Stereolab, Tim Gane.

Silencio was recorded in Toulouse, France and Chicago between December 2011 and February 2012, except the closing track, Invitation Au Silence, which was recorded in a church in South-West France. Spoken in both French and English, Invitation Au Silence coaxes the listener to sample some silence [and] listen how resonant with truth silence is.
