    Lush, engaging and quirkily accessible. [Apr 2005, p.102]

    The songs here... are much more developed and better arranged than anything she'd done on her own before. [#9]

    Far more organic and tactile than Stereolab's work.

    Just wonderful. Laetita's vocals are better than ever! Yes it does sound a bit Stereolab, but what's the matter? The songs are great anyway and if this would be a Stereolab album, it would be a GREAT one.… Expand

    Monade's previous album, a collection of limited edition singles and unreleased tracks called 'Socialisme Ou Barbarie' had a mixed bag feel as the tracks were made over a period of 6 years. 'A Few Steps More' is a more focussed and consistent record and still retains the eclectisicm of the previous material. WIth gentle layering of various instruments from guitar, Moog to trombone and accordion, Laetitia treats her fans and new comers to a flowing set of tracks that mixes bonna nova, krautrock and french pop to awesome effect. I know that does sound a tad like a Stereolab record, but the organic nature of the production and the fact that Monade is essentially a quartet now makes for something delightfully different. Well worth checking out.… Expand
