I am trying to convince our resident Beck expert Brett Jensen to write a full length review of the album Charlotte Gainsbourg made with Beck IRM (an MRI in French and probably a reference to the brain hemorrhage that nearly killed her last year) to be released next week. In the meantime I have been listening to it on npr.org and it as as lovely and subtle an album as you can imagine. The two singles give you the wrong idea: this is a sexy, intoxicated, very French and very Gainsbourg album.
Can’t wait to see her live on Saturday.
