{"product_id":"le-volume-courbe-planet-ping-pong","title":"Le Volume Courbe - Planet Ping Pong","description":"\u003cp\u003eLe Volume Courbe “Planet Ping Pong” is a collection of sonic trips echoing fulgurances of beat poetry. Charlotte is a magician who can weave the directness of punk with the emotions of pop while staying in the realms of edgy experimentation. The bunny comes out of the hat smoking a cigarette and looks you in the eye. The single “Two-Love” is a collaboration with Noel Gallagher on piano and bass and Lascelles Gordon on percussions. The album also includes a cover by Daniel Johnston “Mind Contorted” which is presented as a duet with Terry Hall, and also features his son Theodore Hall and Noel Gallagher on guitars.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe originality of Charlotte’s music shares something with outsider art: naïve, primitive, primal, rather than following the standard rules. The new album self-produced and mixed by Brendan Lynch and Charlotte is no exception, It’s a unique and compelling listen laced with surprises, subversions and a refreshing candour which sets it apart from anything else.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte was born and raised in France and moved to London in 1995. She was first signed to Alan McGee Poptones label in 2001, and her debut “I killed my best friend” was released in 2005 on Honest Jon’s Records. She has also worked with a number of other bands and musicians including Kevin Shields, Mazzy Star, Noel Gallagher, The Television Personalities, Simon Raymonde, Grimm Grimm, Piano Magic etc.. Her song “Born to Lie” was featured in Series 2 of Killing Eve and Spotify selected her song “Rusty” for their “best of the decade 2010-2020” alternative compilation. Cillian Murphy selected the same song for his BBC6 compilation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“She reminds me of a female Syd Barrett... she keeps running into me all over the place from concerts or serving me ice cream at the Curzon on a wet Saturday night or on Jools Holland with the High Flying Birds... I love Charlotte... a great talent and a real psychedelic soul musician.” \u003cstrong\u003eAlan McGee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Inspiring originality, fiercely independent beautiful music, always years ahead of its time. I remember hearing Charlotte’s music for the first time and being immediately taken by the freshness, great melodies and utterly unique approach.” Kevin Shields “When I first met her she was wearing a cape... she looked like a little piece of Lego. She told me she liked some of my songs but not all. (I hadn’t even asked her opinion!!) She’s beautiful, fearless and one hell of a tambourine player.” \u003cstrong\u003eNoel Gallagher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Charlotte is bewitchingly talented, a true rarity that has inspired many creative people. The kind of woman songs are written about. She’s an artist that steals your heart away and then comforts you with her stunning music.” \u003cstrong\u003eHope Sandoval.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A true original and a truly unique artist. There is not many I can say this about, but I honestly think I love everything she’s ever recorded! All hail the Scissor Queen!” \u003cstrong\u003eDavid Holmes.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Tracklisting:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e01 Fourteen Years\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e02 The Moon song\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e03 Two-Love\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e04 Rêve Réveiller\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e05 Bag Of Excuses [v3]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e06 To know him is to love him\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e07 Duffy and Mr Seagull [v3]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e08 Mri song\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e09 Mind Contorted [v4]\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e10 Alone on the Rope\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e11 Planet Ping Pong  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Records Ltd","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":64322894725497,"sku":null,"price":16.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/1463\/6153\/files\/112eada7-6f87-252d-5454-0f52955717ee_38d76f1c-3be5-42d4-802e-f36c1413ffae.jpg?v=1787903824","url":"https:\/\/vinyl-relic.com\/products\/le-volume-courbe-planet-ping-pong","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
