The opening number, “Who + What” elucidates the central issue of the album: a call for a collective striving for Gnosis – an inquisitive outlook that will lend clues to the traumatised civilisations of Earth, allowing us to evolve away from millennia of alienation and suffering and towards the achievability of healing. The musical arrangements help to embody the layers of the issue, as with “Who + What”’s combination of organ, synths, guitar, bass, trombone, drum programming, vibraphone and zither, all working along intricate paths of chord and tempo changes. Leading from the inside is the implacable presence of Laetitia 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 Laetitia plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether drawing inspiration from Zen Shiastu training, or the lyrics of Véronique Vincent, (lyricist and singer for Aksak Maboul, and once upon a time, lead singer of the Honeymoon Killers), Laetitia faces the truth without flinching. The shadows, whatever stuff they are made of - individual and collective, present and ancestral - need to be recognized and acknowledged, because the more we heal within ourselves, the more undivided we become in the face of looming Neo-fascist\/Neoliberal narratives polluting the inner and outer landscapes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlongside of her collaboration with Modern Cosmology, last year’s incredible \u003ci\u003eWhat Will You Grow Now?\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as her continued tours with a reformed Stereolab, \u003ci\u003eRooting For Love\u003c\/i\u003e finds Laetitia back in the world, once again urging all our grounded inner alignment and heart power to make us better equipped for creating what’s to come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Duophonic","offers":[{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50389242904907,"sku":"2166321","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue LP","offer_id":50389243167051,"sku":"2166324","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50389242544459,"sku":"2166320","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Laetitia_Sadier_-_Rooting_For_Love_a7f704d4_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726356052"},{"product_id":"the-trip-3","title":"The Trip","description":"\u003cp\u003eco-leader of stereolab, laetitia sadier's 'the trip' reflects her \"need not to rely on or hide behind anyone. on a deeper level, i also had a very strong urge to make sense of the loss of my sister noelle, so it's a very personal homage to life's journey and a grieving process for the separations that are an unavoidable part of life\". she's joined by rebecca gates (spinnanes), richard swift, april march, julien casc and emmanuel mario. the band sound was conceived with a spare touch in mind. in an ever increasingly busy world, there is a natural need for stillness. on drag city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drag City","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50409951691083,"sku":"330316","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/085dfd75-6e13-4eee-a8be-80b8b0f75f04_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726633459"},{"product_id":"something-shines","title":"Something Shines","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormer Stereolab chanteuse Laetitia Sadier hasn't released a new record since her 2012 solo LP, 'Silencio', but now comes her third solo album, titled 'Something Shines'.
