"Captain Easychord" turns up on Sound-Dust, Stereolab's seventh studio album, which Elektra put out in North America on 28 August 2001, with Duophonic handling the rest of the world on 3 September. Tim Gane and Lætitia Sadier wrote it.
The album was made in Chicago, at John McEntire's Soma studio, with McEntire and Jim O'Rourke producing, and O'Rourke engineered and mixed this track himself. Glenn Kotche adds the bright ping of crotales and Rob Mazurek brings a cornet, small touches of color that make the arrangement glint. There's a shadow over the record, too: Sound-Dust was the final Stereolab album to feature Mary Hansen, the band's singer and guitarist, who was killed in a cycling accident a year later.
