On 9 December 2002, Hansen was fatally hit by a truck while riding her bicycle in London. Writer Pierre Perrone said that her “playful nature and mischievous sense of humour came through in the way she approached the backing vocals she contributed to Stereolab and the distinctive harmonies she created with Sadier.” For the next few months Stereolab lay dormant as the members grieved, but they eventually decided to continue. Future album and concert reviews would mention the effects of Hansen’s absence.
