Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55 Album Released Today (Europe)

[DudeAsInCool]

As some of you know, I have been anxiously awaiting deliver of this new album. With Air, Nigel Godrich and Jarvis Cocker on board, who wouldn't be? The album was released today in France on Amazon, and you sample some music there.

I've posted links to 5:55 and the Songs We Sing before: well here is a link to another excellent cut, 'The Operation', which you can find at TheBombShelter . Enjoy.

Derek at GoodWeatherForAirStrikes offer up a new cut "Everything I Cannot See" as well as an excellent profile at their website.

Artist Profile: Charlotte Gainsbourg

Listen to this and tell me this isn’t the most exciting collaboration of 2006: lyrics by Jarvis Cocker + music by Air + vocals by Charlotte Gainsbourg = Charlotte Gainsbourg’s international debut, 5:55. Seriously. Hell, it doesn’t even stop there. They’ve got David Campbell (Beck’s dad) arranging strings, Nigel fucking Godrich – fresh off of The Eraser – behind the boards on production, and afrobeat-legend Tony Allen and The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon fit somewhere into the equation as well. Yeah, I know – ridiculous.
