Listen: 'Paradisco' By Charlotte Gainsbourg & Beck
And revisit their video about dinosaurs and cheeseburgers.
Do you like Charlotte Gainsbourg? Do you like Beck? Of course you do! So stop staring at the clock and make your afternoon go faster by listening to this new collaborative track between the two excellent artists. Check it out below:
'Paradisco' is the latest track available for listening from Gainsbourg's upcoming LP of live and unreleased material Stage Whisper, due out on December 13. It's both written and produced by Beck, and also 8 drum programming from Cole M.G.N. - best known for playing guitar with Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti and Tweeting things like "Playing these $50g guitars is making my hands sweat?" The song is a fantastic blend of Gainsbourg's ethereal brand of electro pop and Beck's vintage-y aesthetic and, without the latter's normally apocalyptic outlook or the former's referencing to MRI scans, it is very suitable for a weekday afternoon. For something more visually stimulating, watch this cray cray video for 2009 Gainsbourg/Beck collab 'Heaven Can Wait' - featuring a dinosaur in a bathtub, Spongebob costumes and skateboards resting on cheeseburgers:
