Description

It has taken 20 years for Mick Harvey to resume his project of translating Serge Gainsbourgs songs into English and following the release of Volume 3 Delirium Tremens in June, Mick Harvey has now announced the final in the series, Volume 4 Intoxicated Women.

Intoxicated Women contains many duets and songs written by Gainsbourg, mostly during the 1960s, in a period where he was focusing his songwriting on singers such as France Galle, Juliette Greco and most famously, Brigitte Bardot.

Here Harvey has enlisted the talents of guest singers Channthy Kak (Cambodian Space Project), Australian singers Xanthe Waite (Terry, Primo), Sophia Brous, Lyndelle-Jayne Spruyt and Jess Ribeiro and the German chanteuse Andrea Schroeder plus a special appearance by Harveys son, Solomon.

LP includes digital download code.

Praise for Delirium Tremens:

A revelation and a joy The Guardian

Harvey is a cool, calm, plainspoken singer; his true voice has always come through his sense of arrangement, and his ability to render exquisite beauty and apocalyptic clamor with the same brushstroke. Pitchfork

there is an energy that comes from the confidence of experience Harvey makes each song here his own. The Quietus
