Charlotte Gainsbourg’s album “Rest,” recorded at Electric Lady, has garnered Pitchfork’s coveted Best New Music accolade. From Pitchfork:
“Songs like these affirm life, even in the face of death. They transform personal suffering into public spectacle. Few things are more terrifying than exposing our bruises to others, knowing that they could misunderstand, or prey on our vulnerability. On Rest, Gainsbourg doesn’t just reveal her pain, but monumentalizes it, lays out a red carpet, and invites people to watch. Her refusal to be sequestered by grief is, quite literally, a death-defying feat.”
“Rest” is the fourth project recorded here this year to receive Pitchfork’s praises, along with ‘Melodrama’ by Lorde, ‘A Deeper Understanding’ by The War On Drugs, and ‘Crack-Up’ by Fleet Foxes. Read the rest of the Pitchfork review here.
