What what in the music butt this week? Take a looksy:
Blank-eyed chantuese Charlotte Gainsbourg continues to evolve into a disco robot with snappy results. Her new double album Stage Whispers features one live disc and one of new tracks, and they’re all keepers. Stream the self-explanatory “Paradisco” below.
Lindstrøm whipped out a big one this week. He gave us a taste of his new album Six Cups of Rebel, with a Bow Wow Wow -flavored synth orgy for the masses entitled “Deja Vu”. Download via Stereogum.
Victoria Legrand left her Beach House for Le Voyage Dans La Lune with Air.
Perfume Genius, the fragile little gay ghost who lives in my closet, came out to announce a new album of his sweet netherworldly moans. It’s called Put Your Back N 2 It. Gladly. Download first single “All Waters” via his Matador page.
