You know what they say? They say in order to keep up with the short attention spans of their Twitter followers, the pop stars of today must churn out new albums and star in new Lars von Trier movies every year to remind us that they continue to exist. Leading the way through the treacherous waters of the new mediascape is Charlotte Gainsbourg, who announced that her second album in two years, Stage Whisper, will be released on Nov. 7. Moreover, it’s a double album to be preceded by an EP called Terrible Angels on Sept. 5.
According to NME, Stage Whisper is made up of live and unreleased studio tracks from her 2010 album IRM and includes collaborations with Beck, Noah And The Whale, Conor O’Brien of Villagers and Connan Mockasin. In other words, it’s what the Arcade Fire’s manager might dismiss as “a repackage.” Lady Gaga might counter that the French star is merely “freshening up” her old material. Either way we plan on purchasing a physical copy of the album legally from an actual record store.
