= Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles =

Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles is the second studio album by French indie rock band Syd Matters. After recording A Whisper and a Sigh by himself, Jonathan Morali assembled a band to perform the material live which would come to consist of Olivier Marguerit, Clément Carle, Rémi Alexandre, and Jean-Yves Lozac'h. They became permanent members of the band, and were involved with the recording of Someday We Will Foresee Obstacles. The album signaled a stylistic shift in the group, having less focus on electronics, and a more guitar-based sound. The album was originally released in the United States as part of the 2006 compilation album Syd Matters. In 2021, a remastered deluxe edition was released alongside a limited edition vinyl record.

Use In Media
"To All Of You" was featured in an episode of teen drama series The O.C.. A cover of Super Furry Animals' "Hello Sunshine" was also used, and was included on the deluxe edition of the album. "Obstacles" and "To All Of You" were featured in the soundtrack of the 2015 video game Life Is Strange, developed by Dontnod Entertainment. Morali also composed the game's original score. This particular usage of Syd Matters' music became their biggest exposure internationally.
