One of <a href="spotify:artist:3Rj0tDHoX7C5NFq5DKIpHt">Stereolab</a>'s many spin-offs and side projects, Monade (pronounced mon-ard) originally featured <a href="spotify:artist:5s8mrbpjYHWIuGYUzNTpEb">Laetitia Sadier</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:2aFm5gM8lQefcKzOvP2eH8">Pram</a>'s Rosie Cuckston. The duo began collaborating in the mid-'90s, and <a href="spotify:artist:5s8mrbpjYHWIuGYUzNTpEb">Sadier</a> recorded the first Monade tracks in 1996 at <a href="spotify:artist:2aFm5gM8lQefcKzOvP2eH8">Pram</a>'s studio, with Cuckston playing and also helping to engineer the session. Some of these tracks were released by Duophonic as the Sunrise Telling and Witch Hazel/Ode to a Keyring singles. <a href="spotify:artist:5s8mrbpjYHWIuGYUzNTpEb">Sadier</a> continued to record at <a href="spotify:artist:3Rj0tDHoX7C5NFq5DKIpHt">Stereolab</a>'s own studio without Cuckston, and one of these tracks, "Cache Cache," ended up as a B-side on <a href="spotify:artist:3Rj0tDHoX7C5NFq5DKIpHt">Stereolab</a>'s Calimero single. In between her <a href="spotify:artist:3Rj0tDHoX7C5NFq5DKIpHt">Stereolab</a> duties, <a href="spotify:artist:5s8mrbpjYHWIuGYUzNTpEb">Sadier</a> completed enough material for Monade's debut album, Socialisme Ou Barbarie: The Bedroom Recordings, which was released by Duophonic in Europe and by Drag City in the U.S. in spring 2003. For Monade's second album A Few Steps More, the band moved to Too Pure and expanded to include bassist/vocalist Marie Merlet, keyboardist Nicolas Etienne and drummer Xavier Chabellard. Monstre Cosmic arrived in 2008 and featured collaborations with the Bordeaux Conservatoire and the Toulousse-based group Momotte. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi
