Found in: Music, NewsLaetitia Sadier: The Trip
Stereolab chanteuse flies solo With her distinctly ethereal voice, it’s hard to imagine Laetitia Sadier operating outside the dreamy electro-pop of her longtime band Stereolab or her side-project Monade. What sets her solo debut apart from her past work is its emotional frankness. The Trip opens with the spacey synths of “One Million Year Trip,” a sobering tale about her sister’s suicide: “My little sister’s voice / Forever muted, inaudible / She went on a million year trip / And left everything behind.” Where Stereolab’s songwriting was tangential and detached, with lyrics arranged around the melody, Sadier’s solo work is... read more

Found in: Movies, ReviewsJoanna Newsom: Have One On Me
A panoramic dreamworld It’s still too early for grand pronouncements about 2010, but what the hell, let’s get saucy: Joanna Newsom’s Have One On Me is the finest two-hour, harp-driven, three-disc opus of the year. Newsom—still your best possible icebreaker at a dinner party of hipsters, Renaissance Fair staffers and woodland creatures—released her last solo record, Ys, in 2006 to a response that ranged from gleaming to marry-me-I’m-begging-you. But if that sophomore album was a vivid glimpse into her weird little world, this sprawling sequel, conceived in flagrant defiance of conventional logic, is legitimately bananas. It’s like tumbling into her... read more

Sometimes, musicians recording material substantially different than their norm tend to change the spelling of their names. For example, Jim James’ solo set of George Harrison jams is credited to Yim Yames. Clever, Yim, but we’re on to you. Following suit, then, is Will Oldham, under the moniker Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, who will, on Dec. 15, release Funtime Comedown on Drag City offshoot Sea Note, under the name Bonny Billy and The Picket Line.... read more
