Free Charlotte Gainsbourg Teaser for IRM


I discovered Charlotte through her father, Serge Gainsbourg. While traveling in Osaka on Christmas Eve, Antoine Guidicelli gave me a complete compilation of Serge's wild, jazzy sensations complete with allusions to comic books. I fell for Charlotte before I realized she was the darling from Michel Godry's Science of Sleep.

Charlotte Gainsbourg has teamed up with Beck and released a new album. Dubbed 'IRM,' this album is inspired by the MRI tests endured to tackle a brain hemorrhage she suffered after a water skiing accident. It's clangy, mechanical percussion give the sensation of an assembly line of robots poking and drilling while lights and sparks flash in every which direction. Layered above, Charlotte's soothing voice walks you through the song like a nurse narrating the procedure.
