Charlotte Gainsbourg - Hey Joe [7"]

This version of the Jimi Hendrix classic HEY JOE is released on 7" especially for Record Store Day 2014. The song is taken from the soundtrack of Lars Von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" movie, in which CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG plays the main role. It's a sensual version with Charlotte's trademark whispering voice, and music performed by great musicians like Beck, Jason Falkner and Joey Waronker (a.o. Atoms For Peace). The B-side features a pretty fine remix of the song by Sebastian (Akchoté), a French DJ for Ed Banger Records. I actually like it better than the regular version. I have no idea how limited this single is (it doesn't say on the sleeve and i couldn't find it anywhere online) but i'm pretty happy i managed to score a copy.

Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55 [12", 2LP]

 

This album 5:55 by CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG isn't her debut, as many people think, because she released an album in 1986 called Charlotte For Ever when she was 15. While that album was completely written by her dad Serge, this first album as an adult was a cooperation with Jarvis Cocker from Pulp who wrote most of the lyrics, and Nicolas Godin and Jean-Benoît Dunckel from AIR who wrote and performed the music. And that's worked out very well. I really like this album a lot.
