Stephen Becker
Stephen Becker is the principal songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist for Le Concorde, a Los Angeles-based synth pop group whose latest single, “Corpus Christi,” pays tribute to Eucharisitc Miracles and soon-to-be-canonized Blessed Carlo Acutis. “Corpus Christi” is the first single off Le Concorde’s forthcoming album, “Second Mansions,” a lush, soulful and
celebratory work that, like “Corpus Christi,” brings Catholic spirituality and mysticism into the sophistipop genre made famous by 80s UK groups such as Prefab Sprout, The Blue Nile, Aztec Camera, and Simple Minds. The new work from Le Concorde follows upon four critically acclaimed releases: a debut self-titled EP (2004), the full-length album Universe and Villa (March Records, 2005), the Suite EP (Le Grand Magistery, 2007), and the full-length album House (Le Grand Magistery, 2010). Becker, a revert to the Catholic faith, was born and raised near Seattle, and earned an M.A. and Ph.D. in Communications Studies from Northwestern University.
