Premiere: Charlotte Gainsbourg - Hey Joe

Charlotte Gainsbourg stars as Joe with Shia LaBeouf among others in Lars von Trier's much hyped two-part movie Nymphomaniac. An edited standalone version will hit Danish theaters on December 25th. Much to do with the hype is the fact that von Trier has digitally composed porn actors genitals in full on sex mode on all the actors, thus creating scenes containing non simulated acts. Clever! (And we'd say that is a hybrid of animation.) For the soundtrack Charlotte has recorded, with her longtime producer Beck, a cover of the absolute classic Hey Joe. The song was made famous by The Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1966/1967 as their debut single and is now a rock standard for sure. We love this new version and the sultry, whispering vocals add an eeriness moreso than sexiness which is scary and great. The rock production compliments and highlights the dissonance between the lyrics and delivery making it a well worth add to what we think will be quite an experience at the cinema soon. Watch the movie trailer here! Thoughts?

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Paradisco (Rex The Triangle Remix)

Chicago based live sound engineer and musician Michael Weiland a.k.a Rex The Triangle is the winner of Charlotte Gainsbourg's Beatport remix contest for her single Paradisco. Congrats! We love that is stay's true to the original but adds a delicious shimmer and bright acidity in the disco groove. Real awesome work!

Charlotte Gainsbourg - Terrible Angels - Video Premiere!

Charlotte Gainsbourg is back and still working with Beck. On November 7th she releases Stage Whispers, a double album made up of live and unreleased studio tracks. Lead single is Terrible Angels and in the video Charlotte dances á la Janet Jackson! Something we never thought we'd see, hehe. The song reminds us of something Annie would do. While not an instant love affair as with Heaven Can Wait, this might just be a grower. Have a look belooow.

Lykke Li - Get Some (Beck Remix)

We love the stuff Beck has done with Charlotte Gainsbourg, so it's nice to see he's doing some tweaking for Lykke Li as well. This does not match the original mix, but still worth a listen. Check out his remix of Get Some below.
