IRM - Charlotte Gainsbourg



IRM - Charlotte Gainsbourg (2009)

beautiful, eerie and overall very enjoyable.  I think she did a good job of capturing her surreal experience in an MRI machine and representing it musically. Read her explanation here
I like that it's not all sad, shoe-gazey stuff tho: she rocks out a bit too, on "Trick Pony"
I also like the driving rhythm of "Voyage"

Favorite: "Heaven Can Wait"
Least Favorite: "Greenwich Mean Time"
