“Quick Canal” features vocals from Stereolab frontwoman Lætitia Sadier. The vocals were recorded separately by Sadier and Andy Ramsey in London.
Of the collaboration, the artists said:
Laetitia: I remember the first time I met you was at a church in London, at an Atlas Sound show, and it was absol...
I wanted to live the life of a prince
Because I thought saints were born saints
So, indeed, we didn't stand a chance
Insalubrious offshoots of nature
With heart & mind of our own
All the daughters, all the sons
Taking centuries to unearth the creature
Heralding a stage
Where consciousness is higher
Taken through a costly process
Of success & failure

& found wisdom is learnt
Through a costly process
Of success & failure
Oh, wisdom is learnt
Quick Canal was written by Lætitia Sadier.
Quick Canal was produced by Bradford Cox.
Atlas Sound released Quick Canal on Tue Oct 20 2009.
