Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck - "IRM" (2009)

Soft, though with some rougher edges. Melodious.

"Heaven Can Wait", a duet with her producer, is ok, but doesn't stand out from the rest of the album. Was I thinking too much of "Heaven Is Inside You"?

"Me And Jane Doe" is very much like Moldy Peaches, and that is something positive in my opinion. Bit tiresome.

"Vanities" is much quieter, though not yet "girly moan pop". "Dandelion" is a wonderful loopy-eyed tune.

All in all it seems it is a nice but not spectacular album.

"Master's Hands", the openingstrack, is nice.

"Le chat du café des artistes", a slow, softly melancholic song, with haunting strings.
