Charlotte Gainsbourg knows how to surround herself with the best for her musical adventures; after Air, it’s the musical super genius Beck who has composed, produced and co-authored the songs on this brand new album. IRM is a beautiful album of pop where you’ll catch a hint of the Beatles. colette offers the basic version of the CD and, for the true fans, this super limited collector’s set containing 1 CD, 1 DVD, the album in a range including 3 25cm vinyls, a 25cm vinyl containing 4 unreleased remixes and 4 large photographs of Charlotte Gainsbourg by Nick Knight.

But it’s still a Charlotte Gainsbourg LP– a fact that becomes clear after listening to the title track, now available as a free download on her website.

“I had to do so many [MRIs] and every time I was in that tube I was thinking it would make great music,” she says, referencing the song’s stuttering, machine-like rhythm. The lyrics chronicle her trips to the brain-buster with acute detail: “Following the x-ray eye from the cortex to medulla,” she sings in a Beck-y, spoken-word cadence. Fact: MRIs have never been as cool as they are right now.
