O Death
Charlotte Gainsbourg's IRM
In 2007, after complaining of headaches for weeks following a water-skiing mishap, Charlotte Gainsbourg was rushed to a Paris hospital where it was discovered that she'd suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. Emergency surgery pulled her back from the brink, but the incident impacted her so deeply that it informs the entirety of her third record. The album is called IRM, an acronym for Imagerie par Résonnance Magnétique.
