Lætita Sadier, who along with composer Nick Powell created an inspired soundtrack for marxism today (prologue), is a member of the legendary post-rock outfit Stereolab. Renowned for audacious formal experiments in a wide range of musical styles and for the socio-political concerns which permeate their lyrics, Stereolab have historically been termed ‘Marxist pop.’ Since 2003 Sadier has been recording and releasing music with her side-project Monade. Her first solo album The Trip is due out on 27 September on Drag City.

For the UK premiere of marxism today (prologue) and AND Festival, the French-born musician will perform an exclusive set in the Library where Marx and Engels famously researched what was later to become Das Kapital.
