heaven can wait

. . .but hell's too far ago.

i canNOT stop listening to this track, by the lovely french miss charlotte gainsbourg ft. beck on her recently released 3rd album, IRM.

the album thus far, albeit in my first full spin, is really blowing me away. i knew i dug this actress/singer/songwriter, but this album is really incredible. think i found my new fave female artist. it prob doesn't hurt that beck lent a helping hand, either. but so far, january 2010 is turning out to be one hell of a month for new music.

let's hear it:

beach house - teen dream (playing metro in april, should be mindblowing)
owen pallett - heartland (love love love him)
charlotte gainsbourg - irm (duh, see above)
vampire weekend - contra (scroll down for more)

here's to hoping transference will grow on me more. . . for now, heaven can wait. i'm just a gonna vibe to my new fave ladyfriend and hope this day flies by and my spirits lift. (oh, you can check IRM at spinner here: http://www.spinner.com/new-releases#/1 ).
